LI-COR radiation sensors measure the flux of radiant energy—the energy that drives plant growth, warms the earth, and lights our world. The properties of radiant flux depend on the wavelength of the radiation. Pyranometers are sensitive to the broadest waveband. Photometric sensors measure visible radiation (light). Quantum sensors measure Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR)—the radiant energy used in photosynthesis. These three sensor types cover a wide range of applications.
