The diffuse and regular reflectances of five optically absorbing coatings frequently used in optical systems, were measured over the 0.32 μm to 14.3 μm wavelength range, before and after exposure to heat and intense optical radiation. The... more
All the articles discussed & analysed here for calculating the important parameters such as solid angle subtended by the beam at the point-source, total area intercepted by the beam with a spherical surface & cone angle of equivalent beam... more
This study, presenting a history of the measurement of light intensity from its first hesitant emergence to its gradual definition as a scientific subject, explores two major themes. The first concerns the adoption by the evolving... more
When performing high accuracy radiation thermometry, the size‐of‐source effect (SSE) of a radiometer can provide a significant contribution to the uncertainties associated with the measurements. During the development of a new radiometer... more
HCR's Method of concentric cones is the simplest & the most versatile method to find out the solid angle subtended by a torus at any point lying on the geometrical axis (i.e. normal axis passing through the center of torus).
The demand for improved radiometric accuracy of the remote sensing instrumentation used for diagnostic applications involving hot gas emission spectroscopy requires regular “in-field” recalibration. The most convenient calibration source... more
Abstract White-light dispersion experiments performed by Newton with prisms remain among the most beautiful in optics and are frequently replicated in schools and universities. But there is an aspect that is little considered, namely that... more
The effect of the cooling rate on hardness and thermal conductivity in a metallurgical Jominy bar made of AISI 1018 steel, by means of a water end-quenched heat treatment process without diffusion-controlled case depth, is studied with... more
