A lab-scale parallel photoreactor model has been developed for broad applications in organic chemistry. Position, angle, and distance in the reactor are systematically optimized for achieving high reproducibility under the guidance of the Inverse Square Law and Lambert’s Cosine Law, which were first applied in the design of the photoreactor. Improvement of photon efficiency is realized via 3-point irradiation and broad-band light reflector of aluminum. Photon flux is measured with an optical power meter with its display and adjustment suggested being integrated into the photoreactor for the first time.
