Abstract
As part of studies into the use of Smartphones as solar-radiation monitors, this article characterizes the violet response of a consumer complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS)-based Smartphone image sensor in a controlled laboratory environment, with an adjustable Lamp as a radiation source, a band-pass filter (central wavelength is 400nm) covered on Smartphone camera lens and a ASD spectrometer observing synchronously. It is found that a logarithmic relationship appears between CMOS-based sensor imaging DN values and irradiance, and the red (R) component in the chromo-photograph is linearly relative to irradiance. In addition, a Smartphone can be used as a convenient and low-cost scientific instrument in the field of monitoring radiation characterization, due to its capacity to detect usable irradiances.
