7 SPECTRAL CHARACTERISTICS
Measurements of artificial optical radiations are conducted on a wide spectral interval
ranging within 180nm and 3000nm.
Different risk indexes are associated to different spectral intervals, depending on the
kind of damage produced by the optical radiation on the exposed parts of the human
body: eyes and skin.
The correct curves of the spectral response are obtained by summing up the signals
coming from several sensors with appropriate weighting.
7.1 SPECTRAL INTERVAL 180-400nm
This spectral interval must be evaluated with the weighting curve S(λ).
The following figure shows the comparison between the spectral response curve ob-
tained by the combination of channels and weighting curve S(λ).
