  • Black Body Radiation and Radiometric Parameters
    Black Body Radiation and Radiometric Parameters: All materials absorb and emit radiation to some extent. A blackbody is an idealization of how materials emit and absorb radiation. It can be used as a reference for real source properties. An ideal blackbody absorbs all incident radiation and does not reflect. This is true at all wavelengths and angles of incidence. Thermodynamic principals dictates that the BB must also radiate at all ’s and angles. The basic properties of a BB can be summarized as: 1. Perfect absorber/emitter at all ’s and angles of emission/incidence. Cavity BB 2. The total radiant energy emitted is only a function of the BB temperature. 3. Emits the maximum possible radiant energy from a body at a given temperature. 4. The BB radiation field does not depend on the shape of the cavity. The radiation field must be homogeneous and isotropic. T If the radiation going from a BB of one shape to another (both at the same T) were different it would cause a cooling or heating of one or the other cavity. This would violate the 1st Law of Thermodynamics. T T A B Radiometric Parameters: 1. Solid Angle dA d r 2 where dA is the surface area of a segment of a sphere surrounding a point. r d A r is the distance from the point on the source to the sphere.

In recent years it has been found that a digital single lens reflex (DSLR) camera is capable of accurate unfiltered pho- tometry as well as V-filter photometry.1 Undriven cameras, Equipment with appropriate quality lenses, can do photometry down to magnitude 10.

  • Chapter 4 Introduction to Stellar Photometry
    Chapter 4 Introduction to stellar photometry Goal-of-the-Day Understand the concept of stellar photometry and how it can be measured from astro- nomical observations. 4.1 Essential preparation Exercise 4.1 (a) Have a look at www.astro.keele.ac.uk/astrolab/results/week03/week03.pdf. 4.2 Fluxes and magnitudes Photometry is a technique in astronomy concerned with measuring the brightness of an astronomical object’s electromagnetic radiation. This brightness of a star is given by the flux F : the photon energy which passes through a unit of area within a unit of time. The flux density, Fν or Fλ, is the flux per unit of frequency or per unit of wavelength, respectively: these are related to each other by: Fνdν = Fλdλ (4.1) | | | | Whilst the total light output from a star — the bolometric luminosity — is linked to the flux, measurements of a star’s brightness are usually obtained within a limited frequency or wavelength range (the photometric band) and are therefore more directly linked to the flux density. Because the measured flux densities of stars are often weak, especially at infrared and radio wavelengths where the photons are not very energetic, the flux density is sometimes expressed in Jansky, where 1 Jy = 10−26 W m−2 Hz−1. However, it is still very common to express the brightness of a star by the ancient clas- sification of magnitude. Around 120 BC, the Greek astronomer Hipparcos ordered stars in six classes, depending on the moment at which these stars became first visible during evening twilight: the brightest stars were of the first class, and the faintest stars were of the sixth class.

  • Basics of Photometry Photometry: Basic Questions
    Basics of Photometry Photometry: Basic Questions • How do you identify objects in your image? • How do you measure the flux from an object? • What are the potential challenges? • Does it matter what type of object you’re studying? Topics 1. General Considerations 2. Stellar Photometry 3. Galaxy Photometry I: General Considerations 1. Garbage in, garbage out... 2. Object Detection 3. Centroiding 4. Measuring Flux 5. Background Flux 6. Computing the noise and correlated pixel statistics I: General Considerations • Object Detection How do you mathematically define where there’s an object? I: General Considerations • Object Detection – Define a detection threshold and detection area. An object is only detected if it has N pixels above the threshold level. – One simple example of a detection algorithm: • Generate a segmentation image that includes only pixels above the threshold. • Identify each group of contiguous pixels, and call it an object if there are more than N contiguous pixels I: General Considerations • Object Detection I: General Considerations • Object Detection Measuring Flux in an Image • How do you measure the flux from an object? • Within what area do you measure the flux? The best approach depends on whether you are looking at resolved or unresolved sources. Background (Sky) Flux • Background – The total flux that you measure (F) is the sum of the flux from the object (I) and the sky (S). F = I + S = #Iij + npix " sky / pixel – Must accurately determine the level of the background to obtaining meaningful photometry ! (We’ll return to this a bit later.) Photometric Errors Issues impacting the photometric uncertainties: • Poisson Error – Recall that the statistical uncertainty is Poisson in electrons rather than ADU.

  • An Introduction to Photometry and Photometric Measurements Henry
    An introduction to photometry and photometric measurements Henry Joy McCracken Institut d’Astrophysique de Paris What is photometry? • Photometry is concerned with obtaining quantitative physical measurements of astrophysical objects using electromagnetic radiation. • The challenge is to relate instrumental measurements (like electrons counted in an electronic detector) to physically meaningful quantities like flux and flux density • The ability to make quantitative measurements transformed astronomy from a purely descriptive science to one with great explanative power. To print higher-resolution math symbols, click the Hi-Res Fonts for Printing button on the jsMath control panel. Brightness and Flux Density Astronomers learn about an astronomical source by measuring the strength of its radiation as a function of direction on the sky (by mapping or imaging) and frequency (spectroscopy), plus other quantities (time, polarization) that we ignore for now. We need precise and quantitative definitions to describe the strength of radiation and how it varies with distance between the source and the observer. The concepts of brightness and flux density are deceptively simple, but they regularly trip up experienced astronomers. It is very important to understand them clearly because they are so fundamental. We start with the simplest possible case of radiation traveling from a source through empty space (so there is no absorption, scattering, or emission along the way) to an observer. In the ray-optics approximation, radiated energy flows in straight lines. This approximation is valid only for systems much larger than the wavelength of the radiation, a criterion easily met by astronomical sources. You may find it helpful to visualize electromagnetic radiation as a stream of light particles (photons), essentially bullets that travel in straight lines at the speed of light.

The low output and lack of color options of LEDs limited the technology to these uses for some time. New LED materials and improved production processes have produced bright LEDs in colors throughout the visible spectrum, including white light. With efficacies greater than incandescent (and approaching that of fluorescent lamps) along with their durability, small size, and light weight, LEDs are finding their way into many new applications within the lighting community. These new applications have placed increasingly stringent demands on the optical characterization of LEDs, which serves as the fundamental baseline for product quality and product design.

  • 41 Photometry Standardization Measurement with Integrating Spheres Standards for Smart Lighting Voltage Limits for PWM Operated
    www.led-professional.com ISSN 1993-890X Review LpR The leading worldwide authority for LED & OLED lighting technology information Jan/Feb 2014 | Issue 41 Photometry Standardization Measurement with Integrating Spheres Standards for Smart Lighting Voltage Limits for PWM Operated LED Drivers EDITORIAL 1 Safety & Quality Experience shows that early adoption of many new technology developments into the market goes hand in hand with a lack of quality, and in some cases, a critical lack of safety. There are several reasons for this: One is the balancing of test time and test conditions against proven data before entering the market. Another reason is that every new technology and/or technical system displays “unexpected” or “unknown” behaviors under certain conditions. Third of all, international standards are lagging behind the rapidly changing technologies. Standardization bodies need input and experiences as well as concrete problems in order to be able to adapt and/or expand their standards. Everyone seems to be confronted with a more or less “insecure” situation where quality and safety issues may arise and possibly target LED technology in general. When looking at lighting systems or luminaires, all components and modules are important and somehow related to safety and quality. In addition to that, the combination and integration of different parts can have unforeseen effects. There is an article in this issue of LED professional Review which covers one aspect of this: How specific conditions in real applications may lead to critical operation behaviors in regards to safety in the PWM mode of LED drivers. The electronic circuit design can be seen as a very relevant topic for guaranteeing the necessary quality and safety levels.

Radiometric measurements deal with light as a power level, while Photometric measurements deal with light as it is interpreted by the human eye. Both systems of measurement have units that are parallel to each other, but are useful for different applications. This paper will discuss the differencesstill and how they can be measured. AG RADIOMETRIC QUANTITIES Radiometry is the measurement of electromagnetic energy in the range of wavelengths between ~10nm and ~1mm. These regions are commonly called the ultraviolet, the visible and the infrared. Radiometry deals with light (radiant energy) in terms of optical power. Key quantities from a light detection point of view are radiant energy, radiant flux and irradiance. SI Radiometryams Units Quantity Symbol SI unit Abbr. Notes Radiant energy Q joule contentJ energy radiant energy per Radiant flux Φ watt W unit time watt per power incident on a Irradiance E square meter W·m−2 surface Energy is an SI derived unit measured in joules (J). The recommended symbol for energy is Q. Power (radiant flux) is another SI derived unit. It is the derivative of energy with respect to time, dQ/dt, and the unit is the watt (W).
