Ocean Optics - HydroRad Environmental Radiometer

HydroRad Environmental Radiometer

The HydroRad is a highly sophisticated environmental radiometer for rugged, in-the-field irradiance and radiance measurements from 350-850 nm. The system receives light from a sturdy and radiometrically calibrated light collector system for both in-air and in-water measurements.

Originally designed for oceanographic applications, the HydroRad has a hard, anodized aluminum housing for use in harsh environments. It can withstand 300-meter water depths and comes with an accurate depth sensor. (Underwater use requires deployment cable.)

Inside the ruggedized housing is an S2000 Spectrometer, a light collector system, a micro-controller and data logger, and an internal rechargeable battery pack providing up to 20 hours of operation.

A microcomputer controls the spectrometer and stores data. It even determines the optimal integration time and corrects for the dark current. You can set up the HydroRad for autonomous operation or -- for real-time data collection and display -- operate it manually or via an external PC.

Configure a HydroRad for any radiometric application. Contact an Applications Scientist for details and pricing. Items include:

HydroRad with up to 4 spectrometer channels
Radiance Collectors
Irradiance Collectors (planar and scalar)
Deployment Cable for underwater operation
Motorized Shutter System for the light collector
