Mean temperature response of ten MQ-500 series
quantum sensors (errors bars represent two
standard deviations above and below mean).
Temperature response measurements were made
at 10 C intervals across a temperature range of
approximately -10 to 40 C in a temperature
controlled chamber under a fixed, broad spectrum,
electric lamp. At each temperature set point, a
spectroradiometer was used to measure light
intensity from the lamp and all quantum sensors
were compared to the spectroradiometer. The
spectroradiometer was mounted external to the
temperature control chamber and remained at
room temperature during the experiment.
Mean spectral response measurements of six
replicate Apogee SQ-100X (original X) and
MQ-500 (full-spectrum) series quantum
sensors. Spectral response measurements
were made at 10 nm increments across a
wavelength range of 300 to 800 nm with a
monochromator and an attached electric
light source. Measured spectral data from
each quantum sensor were normalized by
the measured spectral response of the
monochromator/electric light combination,
which was measured with a
spectroradiometer.
