Specifications And Equipment Class; Need For Radiometer - KERR OPTILUX Manual Del Usuario

nm - nanometer: A unit of length (one billionth
of a meter) commonly used to describe the
wavelength of visible light energy. The Optilux
Radiometer uses filters that only allow light
energy between 400-500 nm to be measured.
400 - 500 nm is the violet and blue portion of
the visible spectrum.
2
mW/cm - milliWatt per square centimeter:
A unit of power density used to describe the
concentration of energy distributed over a
2
particular area. mW/cm is the generally
accepted standard unit for specifing the output
of a dental curing light unit. The meter scale on
the front of the Optilux Radiometer is calibrated
2
from 0 -1000 mW/cm (Figure 2). The higher
the reading, the more blue light output.
