Labsphere’s Permaflect® large-area, grey and white, reference diffuse reflectance targets are ideal for accurately assessing short-range and long-range sensitivity over the dynamic range of LiDAR systems.
For imaging applications your grey target solution must work for a wide variety of lighting environments and still maintain its appearance. Most importantly it has to have uniform spectral response. It also must be thermally and physically durable, UV light stable, thermally color stable, no gloss, no polarization and no fluorescence.
If your grey target solutions do not meet these requirements, you need Permaflect diffuse reflectance targets. Permaflect targets are available for individual purchase in three sizes: 0.5 x 0.5, 1.0 x 1.0, 1.5 x 1.5 or 1.2 x 2.4 m, unframed and with or without mounting. Available reflectance factors are 5%, 10%, 18%, 50%, 80% and 94%.
Permaflect diffuse reflectance targets are also available in Labsphere's LiDAR Test Target Kits, including three reflectance levels; 10%, 50% and 80%, a robust case that holds all three Permaflect targets for storage and transport, and spectral reflectance and uniformity test reports. The kits come in a choice of three target sizes; 0.5 x 0.5, 1.0 x 1.0 and 1.5 x 1.5 m.

Labsphere’s SMARTSens-D digital UVC irradiance sensors are available with one to four SSD-UVC/UVCF-2M sensors per UVC-HESC-001/002 controller. Choose the number of sensors that best monitors the UVC dose in your UVGI system design.
Labsphere’s SMARTSens-D integrated digital UVC sensors UVC-HISC-001/002 feature the controller integrated into the sensor package for simplified dose monitoring and are available as single sensors that can be used to monitor UVC irradiance and dose. Multiple sensors can be networked and monitored from a central location.
Not sure where to place your sensors or how many sensors you need? AMS Technologies and Labsphere have you covered with the supplier’s comprehensive radiometric modeling service. For SMARTSens products, Labsphere offers modeling of an enclosed volume such as UV-C disinfection cabinet or enclosure, as well as modeled simulations of illumination in the enclosed environment under varying lighting conditions and geometric scenarios. As a result, we can assist in determining the best locations for integrating SMARTSens UVC irradiance and dose-meter sensors to validate disinfection cabinet performance, hotspots, cold spots, and optical radiation distribution and uniformity.
