igh-Performance Gallium Phosphide Sensor for Accurate Blue and Near-UV Light Detection and Photometric Calibration

The TOCON_BLUE8 from SGLUX GmbH is a high-performance Gallium Phosphide (GaP) blue-light photodetector designed for accurate detection and monitoring of visible-blue and near-UV radiation.
It combines a solar-blind GaP photodiode with a low-noise transimpedance amplifier, producing a stable 0 – 5 V DC output proportional to irradiance.
Operating across a 350 – 480 nm spectral range with peak sensitivity at 465 nm, it delivers precise measurements for LED characterisation, optical calibration, fluorescence excitation, and industrial process control.
Each sensor is factory-calibrated and traceable to NIST / PTB standards, ensuring long-term stability and reproducibility.
Compact and robust, the TOCON_BLUE8 is ideal for blue-LED testing, UV curing, phototherapy validation, and laboratory-grade optical metrology, providing exceptional reliability and signal clarity in demanding environments.

The TOCON_BLUE8 photodetector employs a GaP photodiode optimised for visible-blue and near-UV wavelengths while remaining insensitive to red and infrared light.
Its integrated transimpedance amplifier provides a linear 0 – 5 V DC output, simplifying system integration with SGLUX SENSOR MONITOR 5.0, VOLTCON, or similar data-acquisition platforms.
With < 1 s response time, low noise, and excellent signal stability, it offers reliable operation even under continuous illumination.
Factory calibration traceable to NIST/PTB standards ensures precision and reproducibility, making the TOCON_BLUE8 suitable for blue-light measurement, LED validation, and industrial optical quality control.
