Özet

We have demonstrated experimentally that recently developed gaseous detectors with resistive electrodes, combined with solid or gaseous photocathodes have low noise and high quantum efficiency for UV photons while being solar blind. For this reason, they can be used for the detection of weak UV sources in daylight conditions. These detectors are extremely robust and affordable and may operate in poor gas conditions. We present the most recent results of their applications to hyper spectroscopy and flame detection in daylight conditions. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
