ABSTRACT:
A light-measuring device is disclosed for continuously and accurately measuring the intensity of light beams of from low intensity to high intensity. The intensity of a light beam to be measured is measured by a photodiode. A bias voltage is applied to the photodiode by a bias power source to improve the saturation characteristic. When the measured light beam is of high intensity, an analog switch and a photo MOS relay are switched on. When measuring a light beam with medium intensity, only the analog switch is turned off and a bias voltage is not applied to the photodiode. When measuring a light beam with low intensity, the bias voltage is not applied to the photodiode by switching off the photo MOS relay.
