Re: Infrared sensitivity of Silicon PhotoDiodes

["Thomas H. Hogan" <flzhgn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Elton  - Infrared light doesn't pack the punch that
visible and ultraviolet light do.  Just make sure that you
are not reading ultraviolet light because the 87 filter 
transmits ultraviolet.  Most meters would
sense ultraviolet but cannot sense infrared.

So, the next step is to prove that the readings are not due
to UV or Visible radiation and that they stem from true
Actinic infrared radiation.

Good Luck,

Hank
