RE: [Vo]:X-rays, IR, RF & the Rossi effect

The window is fused silica. This is an obvious choice and one of very few UV 
transparent materials… old EPROMs used fused quartz windows.

 

Hmm… one wonders if a hacked and almost free UV detector could be made using an 
old EPROM? 

 

Perhaps one could write a lot of ordered data on the EPROM, then check the data 
after a timed exposure to Mills type cell, having placed the encased chip 
behind a pin-hole. The degree of randomness caused by exposure could serve as a 
calibration gauge. If nothing else, this could corroborate results obtained 
with one or more other cheap detectors, such a normal photocell with a high 
pass filter.
