UV Light Detection Module
The module includes an LM358 dual op amp which converts the current output of the sensor to a voltage and then amplifies that output so that it can be read by the analog input on an MCU for taking UV readings. The first stage op amp. The module includes an LM358 dual op amp which converts the current output of the sensor to a voltage and then amplifies that output so that it can be read by the analog input on an MCU for taking UV readings. The first stage op amp outputs a voltage proportional to 4.3 * sensor photocurrent in µA. If the photocurrent is 0.1µA (0.09mW/cm^2), then t. The module brings out the following connections. 1 x 3 Header 1. SIG orSIO= Signal Output – Connect to MCU analog input 2. GND= Ground 3. VCC= 2.7V to 5.5V. Connect to Vcc of the MCU (typically 3.3 or 5V)The module ships with the male header strip loose. The header can be soldered to the top or bottom of the module depending on the planned use or wires can be used to make the connections. For breadboard use, we put the headers on the bottom. Soldering is easiest if the header is inserted into a solderless breadboard to hold it in position during th.

Spectroscopic principle of UV detector
The principle of UV-Vis spectroscopy is based on the absorption of UV or visible light by chemical compounds [2,3,6] . When UV-Vis light passes through a sample, some wavelengths are absorbed while others are transmitted. The amount of transmitted light is measured as transmittance (T), and absorbance (A) is calculated using. Spectroscopy is the measurement and interpretation of electromagnetic radiation absorbed or emitted when the molecules or atoms or ions of a sample move from one energy state to another energy state. UV spectroscopy is a type of absorption spectroscopy in which light of the ultra-violet region. Ultraviolet (UV) and visible radiation are a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes other forms of radiation such as radio, infrared (IR), cosmic, and X rays. It is widely applied in chemistry, biochemistry, and environmental science for compound identification and quantification.
