Measurement of UV from a Microplasma by a Microfabricated Amorphous Selenium Detector
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We spectrally demonstrate for the first time that an amorphous selenium metal-semiconductor-metal detector can be used for the measurement of ultraviolet photons (200-400 nm) generated from a portable battery-operated microplasma that is used as a light source. An advantage of this low-cost detector is that the device structure allows photons to strike the light-sensitive layer directly rather than through electrodes or blocking layers. Another advantage is that despite operation at high electric fields of up to 43 V/μm, the dark current of the detector at room temperature is 3 pA/mm2. Therefore, detector cooling is not required, and this facilitates portability for measurements on-site (i.e., in the field and away from a laboratory). Spectral response was monitored using a scanning monochromator, and it was compared with that obtained by a portable spectrometer fitted with a linear charge-coupled device detector. To demonstrate detector responsivity, emission signals with an appreciable signal-to-noise ratio were obtained by introducing nanogram amounts of the sample into the microplasma.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
