Inradiometry,radiant exposure orfluence is theradiant energyreceived by asurface per unit area, or equivalently theirradiance of asurface, integrated over time of irradiation, andspectral exposure is the radiant exposure per unitfrequency orwavelength, depending on whether thespectrum is taken as a function of frequency or of wavelength. TheSI unit of radiant exposure is thejoule per square metre (J/m²), while that of spectral exposure in frequency is the joule per square metre perhertz (J⋅m⁻²⋅Hz⁻¹) and that of spectral exposure in wavelength is the joule per square metre per metre (J/m³)—commonly the joule per square metre per nanometre (J⋅m⁻²⋅nm⁻¹).

Mathematical definitions

[edit]

Radiant exposure

[edit]

Radiant exposure of asurface, denotedH_e ("e" for "energetic", to avoid confusion withphotometric quantities), is defined as^[1] $H_{\mathrm {e} }={\frac {\partial Q_{\mathrm {e} }}{\partial A}}=\int _{0}^{T}E_{\mathrm {e} }(t)\,\mathrm {d} t,$ where

∂ is thepartial derivative symbol;
Q_e is the radiant energy;
A is the area;
T is the duration of irradiation;
E_e is the irradiance.

Spectral exposure

[edit]

Spectral exposure in frequency of asurface, denotedH_e,ν, is defined as^[1] $H_{\mathrm {e} ,\nu }={\frac {\partial H_{\mathrm {e} }}{\partial \nu }},$ whereν is the frequency.

Spectral exposure in wavelength of asurface, denotedH_e,λ, is defined as^[1] $H_{\mathrm {e} ,\lambda }={\frac {\partial H_{\mathrm {e} }}{\partial \lambda }},$ whereλ is the wavelength.
