Novel electrochemical ferroxalate actinometer for excilamp intensity measurement

In this paper we report on use of electrochemical ferroxalate actinometer for measuring of intensity of KrCl-, XeCl-, and XeBr-excilamps for which traditionally physical photodetectors were applied. Advantages of the suggested method are discussed in comparison with colorimetry method to define radiation intensity using ferroxalate actinometer. It is shown that the novel version of chemical actinometer can serve as alternative method to measure intensity and to calibrate physical photodetectors in UV range.
