Quantum sensors can be a very practical means of measuring PPFD from multiple radiation sources, but spectral
errors must be considered. The spectral errors in the table above can be used as correction factors for individual
radiation sources.
Underwater Measurements and Immersion Effect
When a quantum sensor that was calibrated in air is used to make underwater measurements, the sensor reads
low. This phenomenon is called the immersion effect and happens because the refractive index of water (1.33) is
greater than air (1.00). The higher refractive index of water causes more light to be backscattered (or reflected)
out of the sensor in water than in air (Smith,1969; Tyler and Smith,1970). As more light is reflected, less light is
transmitted through the diffuser to the detector, which causes the sensor to read low. Without correcting for this
effect, underwater measurements are only relative, which makes it difficult to compare light in different
environments.
The SQ-100X series sensors have an immersion effect correction factor of 1.15. This correction factor should be
multiplied to measurements made underwater.
