Introduction to Radiometry

An introduction to radiometry, the measurement of radiation. It examines both the techniques of calculating radiative transfer, and the measurement of fluxes and radiometric properties of different sorts.

Radiometry is an essential part of the optical design of virtually every optical instrument, and key to many applications. It is also used to measure the radiation of various objects. This tutorial examines both the techniques of calculating radiative transfer and the measurement of fluxes and radiometric properties of various sorts.
