Abstract

Military needs for ultraviolet alarming and ultraviolet security communication appear as important demands for the development of ultraviolet sensing technology. In this paper, adopting the international atmospheric transmission simulation package LOWTRAN, atmospheric ultraviolet transmission under varying conditions of geographical locations, altitude, visibility, directions of light pathways and the transmission ranges are analyzed. Simulation results thus obtained can basically explain some conclusions in current applications of UV sensing technology abroad, and are useful in guiding future research and development of UV sensing technology.
