  1. Source Measurement The most common measurements of sources include: • Radiance - Light emitted in a particular direction • Irradiance – Light falling onto a surface • Total flux – Total light emitted in all directions

  2. Radiance Measurement • Radiance is normally measured with a telescope • The solid collection angle corresponds to the size of the lens • The measurement area corresponds to the field-of-view of the telescope Solid Collection angle Source Measurement area

  3. Radiance Measurement Solid Collection angle • The term “radiance” in this section also refers to related units such as luminance and radiant intensity • Radiant intensity applies to small or distant objects that are smaller than the telescope field-of-view Source Measurement area

  4. Radiance Measurement • Optronic Laboratories, Inc. manufactures a large range of telescope, microscope and imaging optic modules for radiance measurements • To illustrate a typical system for radiance measurement, we will use the OL Series 730-9 Telescopes

  5. The OL Series 730-9 Telescopes • For luminance and radiance of sources from 200 nm to 14,000 nm Reflex viewing Wide range of lenses Adjustable focus

  6. The OL Series 730-9 Telescopes • For luminance and radiance of sources from 200 nm to 14,000 nm Here is how it works Light coming from the source…

  7. The OL Series 730-9 Telescopes • For luminance and radiance of sources from 200 nm to 14,000 nm The reflex mirror lets the user see what is being measured The sectional drawing shows what happens inside the solid housing If the mirror is flipped out of the way …is picked up at some distance and focussed by the OL 730-9

  8. The OL Series 730-9 Telescopes • For luminance and radiance of sources from 200 nm to 14,000 nm The image is sent via the field-of-view aperture to the spectroradiometer

  9. And a detector Then we add the OL 730-9 Radiance Measurement Putting together an OL 750 radiance system We start with an OL 750 monochromator Positive location & easy assembly

  10. Radiance Measurement We have a complete radiance measurement system

  11. Irradiance and Total Flux Measurement • To measure irradiance (or illuminance), a cosine response integrating sphere such as the OL IS-670 is substituted for the OL 730-9 • To measure total flux, a large sphere (typically 18 to 76 inches) is substituted for the OL 730-9

  12. Irradiance Measurement A complete irradiance measurement system OL IS-670 near-perfect cosine response integrating sphere
