A promising material for use in a UV film badge dosemeter is diazo film. The optical density of this substance changes on exposure to ultraviolet radiation. The present paper reports some of the relevant factors in the processing of the film and also on its spectral sensitivity. It is evident from our results that development time and volume and concentration of ammonia solution should be standardised. However, after the film has been developed, it is not affected by subsequent UV exposure or by storage for up to one month. Although maximum sensitivity occurs at 405 nm, there is still an easily measurable response at 254 nm. It is concluded that provided procedures are standardised, Diazochrome KBL film is an inexpensive, convenient material for a UV film badge dosemeter with measurable sensitivity down to 254 nm.
重氮胶片是一种有望用于紫外线胶片剂量计的材料。这种物质在受到紫外线辐射时，其光学密度会发生变化。本文报道了胶片处理过程中的一些相关因素以及它的光谱灵敏度。从我们的结果可以明显看出，显影时间、氨水的体积和浓度都应标准化。然而，胶片显影后，后续的紫外线照射或长达一个月的储存都不会对其产生影响。尽管在405纳米处出现最大灵敏度，但在254纳米处仍有易于测量的响应。得出的结论是，只要程序标准化，重氮铬酸钾KBL胶片是一种用于紫外线胶片剂量计的廉价、方便的材料，其灵敏度可低至254纳米且可测量。
