A GaAs/AlGaAs detector is demonstrated showing multiple detection capabilities. This detector exhibits a broad spectral response in the 200-870 nm (ultraviolet-visible) range for forward bias and in the 590-870 nm (visible) range for reverse bias. In the mid-IR region, two peaks at 5 and 8.9 microm can be observed for low and high forward bias voltages, respectively. In addition, the peak at 8....

A detector system, called DUVEX, has been developed for the soft-x-ray and extreme ultraviolet domain. It consists in a YAG :Ce scintillator coupled to a photomultiplier module working under vacuum in counting mode. The design and the performances of this detector in terms of yield, absolute efficiency, response and noise are reported. Spectra in the soft x-ray range of different elements (W, A...

We present the results of a search for Extreme Ultraviolet emission in A4059, a cluster with an Xray emitting cluster gas. Our analysis of Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) Deep Survey observations of this cluster shows that it is associated with diffuse EUV emission. Outside the central 2 arcmin radius the entire EUV emission detected is explained by the low energy tail of the X-ray emitting...

Ultraviolet (UV) image sensors have been and are actively being developed for a variety of space-borne astronomy missions. There is a large range in the maturity of UV detectors. Some systems have already flown numerous times and still continue to undergo refinements. At the other extreme, there are potentially breakthrough novel devices that require the development of several fundamental techn...

In this paper the use of a computer-controlled photodiode array spectrophotometric detector for the high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) profiling of carboxylic acids in physiological fluids is reported. The ultraviolet spectrum of the flowing eluent is obtained at 6-sec intervals and is displayed as the absorbance at 190 nm. A three-dimensional (time versus wavelength versus absorban...

A capillary electrophoretic method (CE) with ultraviolet absorption detection for baclofen in human plasma was developed. The separation was obtained by CE with 50 mM borate buffer at pH 9, followed by detection with an ultraviolet detector at 225 nm. The plasma samples were deproteinized with acetonitrile to remove proteins and to induce sample stacking. With stacking, the limit of detection (...

Determination of duloxetine by various methods from various matrices is reviewed in this paper. The methods used consist of spectrofluorimetry, ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy, thin layer chromatography (TLC), and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). These methods were used to determine the amount of duloxetine in bulk drugs, pharmaceutical dosage forms and biological matrix. HPLC with ...
