Development of UV detector for space applications
Kočiščák, Samuel ; Pavlů, Jiří (advisor) ; Jeřáb, Martin (referee)
Title: Development of UV Detector for Space Applications Author: Samuel Kočiščák Department: Department of Surface and Plasma Science Supervisor: doc. RNDr. Jiří Pavlů, Ph.D., Department of Surface and Plasma Science Abstract: It is not unusual that space measurement is influenced by UV irradia- tion causing photoemission on delicate electronic components. Therefore informa- tion on UV irradiance is very useful. Particularly useful is non-delayed, immediate quantitative information (on a time scales of seconds) identifying unexpected va- riation in the irradiance of such electronic parts. The goal was to construct a prototype, measure basic properties and discuss ca- pabilities of a detector capable of continuous measurement of UV irradiance of a spacecraft, working on the principle of photoemission alone. We have success- fully shown the capabilities of a prototype and established some of its key basic properties, e.g. their stability in cosmic environment. Keywords: VUV, Faraday cup, UV detector, UV transmittance, solar wind
