function irradiance = RadianceToRetIrradiance(luminance,radiance,radianceS,pupilAreaMM,eyeSizeMM) % irradiance = RadianceToRetIrradiance(luminance,radiance,radianceS,pupilAreaMM,eyeSizeMM) % % Perform the geometric calculations necessary to convert a measurement of source % radiance to corresponding retinal irradiance. % % Input radiance should be in units of power/m^2-sr-wlinterval. % Input radianceS gives the wavelength sampling information. % Input pupilAreaMM should be in units of mm^2. % Input eyeSizeMM should be the length of the eye in mm. % Output irradiance is in units of power/um^2-sec-wlinterval. % % Light power may be expressed in watts or quanta-sec or in your % favorite units. Indeed, it may also be passed as energy rather % than power. % % This conversion does not take absorption in the eye into account, % as this is more conveniently foldeded into the spectral absorptance. % % See also: PupilAreaFromLum, IsomerizationsInEyeDemo. % % 7/10/03 dhb Wrote it. % Convert spectral units to watts/sr-mm^2-wlinterval radianceMM = radiance*1e-6; % Define factor to convert radiance spectrum to retinal irradiance in watts/mm^2-wlinterval. % Commented out code shows the logic, which is short circuited by actual code. % but is conceptually convenient for doing the calculation. % distanceToSourceMM = 100; % fractionfSphere = pupilAreaMM/4*pi*distanceToSourceMM^2; % pupilAreaSR = 4*pi*fractionOfSphere; % sourceAreaMM = (distanceToSourceMM^2)/(eyeSizeMM^2); % conversionFactor = pupilAreaSR*sourceAreaMM; conversionFactor = pupilAreaMM/(eyeSizeMM^2); irradianceMM = conversionFactor*radianceMM; % Convert irradiance to units of quanta/um^2-sec-wlinterval irradiance = irradianceMM*1e-6;
