A diamond-based single-element ultraviolet photodetector that may be used in spectrophotometric equipment is developed. The characteristics of the spectral sensitivity of the detector as a function of the applied voltage are presented. The capabilities gained from the use of similar devices for systems used in the analysis of the composition of multicomponent mixtures are considered.
