GaN ultraviolet detector based demonstrator board for UV-index monitoring

Currently, various types of III nitride-based materials have been successfully used for short-wavelength optoelectronic devices. The GaN ultraviolet detector has been wildly used for UV-Index(UVI) monitoring, UV curing and water disinfection. The global solar UVI describes the levels of solar UV radiation at the Earth’s surface. The higher the UVI value, the greater the potential damage to the skin and eyes. The UVI monitoring demonstrator board with GaN detector is briefly introduced in this paper.
