About this title

Synopsis

Master optical radiation measurements with this self-study manual—clear, tutorial guidance you can use.

This edition assembles the first three chapters of a definitive guided study on measuring incoherent optical radiation. It provides a practical, self-instructional approach that covers the ray method, measurement equations, and the units and nomenclature used in the field. The material is designed for readers who want a solid foundation in radiometry and photometry, with concrete steps you can apply to real problems.

The chapters introduce radiance as the central radiometric quantity, show how to analyze distribution across position and direction, and explain how to evaluate flux and spectral radiance. You’ll see how radiance behaves along a ray and how to transform distributions between surfaces that intersect the beam. The text emphasizes a practical, worked‑through approach suitable for self-study and quick reference.

• Learn radiance and its invariance properties for ray-based analysis.
• Discover how to compute total flux from a radiance distribution.
• Explore the distribution of optical radiation with respect to position and direction.
• Understand spectral radiance and its role in spectral flux evaluation.

Ideal for readers of technical optics, photometry, and radiometry who want a reliable, hands‑on introduction to measuring optical radiation.
