sensors.mspct: Spectral response of sensors

In photobiologySensors: Response Data for Light Sensors

Spectral response of sensors

Description

A collection of response spectra for various broadband sensors used for measuring ultraviolet and visible radiation. Each spectrun in the collection contains two variables, wavelengths (nm) at either regular or irregular intervals and spectral responsiveness (in energy units). Spectral data are in most cases normalized to one at the wavelength of maximum energy responsivity. Absolute calibration values are given only for data from a publication which reports on multiple units of the same type.

Usage

sensors.mspct

Format

A response_mspct object containing response_spct objects as named members.

Spectral objects for single channel sensers contain two numeric variables, with responsivity in most cases in relative energy units:

• w.length (nm)

• s.e.response (r.u.)

Spectral objects for multichannel sensors contain the spectra in long form with two numeric variables, and in addition a factor with channel ids:

• w.length (nm)

• s.e.response (r.u.)

• channel (factor with names as levels)

The spectral objects contain, in addition to the spectral data, metadata stored in R attributes.

Note

In addition to this object containing the spectral data, this package provides character vectors useful for subsetting spectra by supplier, type, colour, etc.
