Abstract

A radiation meter for radiation emerging from an optical fiber, comprising a hollow body having diffusely reflecting interior walls into which the end of the optical fiber can be introduced, and at least one detector arranged behind an opening of the hollow body. Between the end of the optical fiber and the opening for the detector, a diffusely reflecting body is arranged which, together with the interior wall of the hollow body, in the area of the opening for the detector, forms a gap with an adjustable gap thickness.
