What is the 1st division vision and colour about ?
Concerned mainly with standards in photometry, colorimetry, colour rendering, visual performance and visual assessment of light and lighting
What is the 2nd division Measurement of Light and Radiation about?
Concerned with detectors and measurement of radiation from ultraviolet to infrared
What is the 3rd division Interior Environment and Lighting Design about?
Concerned with lighting in buildings and their environment
What is the 4th division Lighting and Signalling for Transport about?
Concerned mostly with lighting and visual signalling and information requirements of transport and traffic
What is the 5th division of Exterior Lighting and Other Applications about?
The design of lighting for pedestrian and other urban areas, security lighting, flood lighting, etc
What is the 6ht division of photobiology and photochemistry about?
Effects of optical radiation on biological and photochemical systems
What is the 8th division of imaging technology about?
Processing and reproduction of images, using all types of analogue and digital imaging devices, storage media and imaging media
What are the key achievements of this commission ?
1924
-CIE established the standard photopic observer defined by the spectral luminous efficiency function V(λ)
1931
- Standard illuminants A, B, and C.
- CIE 1931 colour matching functions
- CIE 2° standard observer
- CIE established the XYZ colour space
1951
-CIE established the standard scotopic observer
defined by the function V’(λ).
1964
- CIE 10° standard observer
- 10o colour matching functions
- CIE standard illuminant D6500 (D65)
- Correlated colour temperature
1976
-CIE developed the CIELAB and CIELUV colour spaces
Why is black body radiator important ?
determined virtually entirely by its temperature
What does the BB radiator follow ?
Plancks law
So what is the BB determined by ?
its output is totally determined by its temperature (K)
The Black-Body Radiator equation ?
Me𝝀 = 2(pi)hc^2𝝀^-5(e ^hv/kT - 1)^-1
temp in Kelvin
What can you do for any absolute temperature ? (shown in graph of slide)
plot the relative emittance , amount of light emitted per unit area of the black body source as a function of wavelength
- Then can see the BB source, which approximates very well a tungsten lamp, a heated filament lamp, produces very little light with a peak in the IF part of spectrum at low temperature
- But then this peak emission wavelength shifts towards low wavelengths as the temp increases
What happens when you go from a low to high temperature in BB radiator ?
- you have a massive increase in the radiant flux output per unit are of the BB source.
What does a low temperature source produce in the short wavelength region of the spectrum ?
barely any light
What does the blue short wavelength part produce ?
the total radiant flux as well as the output in the blue wavelength part of the spectrum is much higher as the temperature increases
