30 Colorimetry
Colorimetry Hue (φ) that quality of color which we describe by the words red, yellow, green, blue, etc. Value (z) that quality of color which we describe by the words light, dark, etc., relating the color to a gray of similar lightness. Chroma (r) that quality which describes the extent to which a color differs from a gray of the same level.

White Illuminant the Solar Spectra Note: There are many ways to create white light Sunlight is not an efficient way to create white light. Why? 54 Ref: http://www.pde.rpi.edu/courses/05s/led/ssl/frame.htm
Color Temperature 55 Planckian spectrum or black-body radiation spectrum As temperature increases, objects sequentially glow in the red, orange, yellow, and white Ref: http://www.pde.rpi.edu/courses/05s/led/ssl/frame.htm
Color Gamut Color gamut Gamut of Red-Green-Blue light source has triangular shape Area of gamut matters for displays, color printers, etc. 56 Ref: http://www.pde.rpi.edu/courses/05s/led/ssl/frame.htm
Example of color mixing RGB color mixing Color gamut Gamut size increases with the number of light sources 57 Ref: http://www.pde.rpi.edu/courses/05s/led/ssl/frame.htm
Color Rendering A light source has color rendering capability This is the capability to render the true colors of an object Example: False color rendering What is the color of a yellow banana when illuminated with a red LED? What is the color of a green banana when illuminated with a yellow LED? 58 Ref: http://www.pde.rpi.edu/courses/05s/led/ssl/frame.htm
Example of Color Rendering 59 Clear differences in the color rendition can be seen in this August Renoir painting (left-hand side: high CRI; right-hand side: low CRI) Ref: http://www.pde.rpi.edu/courses/05s/led/ssl/frame.htm
Color Rendering Index The color rendering capability of a test light source is measured in terms of the color rendering index Color rendering index of a high-quality reference light source is CRI = 100 An incandescent light source with the same color temperature serves as the reference light source Eight color sample objects serve as test objects Example: Color sample under reference source illumination Color sample under test source illumination slight difference in color! 60 Ref: http://www.pde.rpi.edu/courses/05s/led/ssl/frame.htm
Calculation of Color Rendering Index CIE color definition: Color = Brightness, hue, and saturation Color rendering index: CRI = 100 Σ i = 1 8 E i * E i * represents color change CRI is a very good metric but not a perfect one! 61 Ref: http://www.pde.rpi.edu/courses/05s/led/ssl/frame.htm
Reflectivity of Color Sample Objects Sample objects (Fruit, wood, etc.) 8 standard objects ( General CRI) 6 additional objects ( Special CRIs) 62Ref: http://www.pde.rpi.edu/courses/05s/led/ssl/frame.htm
Discussions of Color rendering index (CRI) The reference objects are illuminated with reference light source. As a result, object will have a certain color. The reference objects are then illuminated with test light source. As a result, object will have a certain, but different, color. The CRI is a measure of the sum of the differences in color. If color difference is zero, then CRI = 100 If color difference is > zero, then CRI < 100 Some applications require high and very high CRI. Some applications do not require a high CRI. For some applications, CRI is irrelevant. Examples? Examples? Examples? Caution: CRI depends on the selection of the reference light source. Recommended for reference light source: Planckian radiator. 63 Ref: http://www.pde.rpi.edu/courses/05s/led/ssl/frame.htm

65 Photometry
66 Photometry vs Radiometry
History of Photometric Units Photograph shows plumber s candle A plumber s candle emits a luminous intensity of 1 candela (cd). The cd is historical origin of all photometric units. First definition (now obsolete): The luminous intensity of a standardized candle is 1 cd. Second definition (now obsolete): 1 cm 2 of platinum (Pt) at 1042 K (temperature of solidification) has a luminous intensity of 20.17 cd. Third definition (current): A monochromatic light source emitting an optical power of (1/683) Watt at 555 nm into the solid angle of 1 steradian (sr) has a luminous intensity of 1 cd. 67 Candlepower and candle are obsolete units. Candlepower and candle measure luminous intensity and are approximately equal to one cd. Ref: http://www.pde.rpi.edu/courses/05s/led/ssl/frame.htm
Luminous Flux, Illuminance, and Luminance luminous flux: A light source with a luminous intensity of 1 cd emits a luminous flux of 1 lm into a solid angle of one steradian An isotropic light source with a luminous intensity of 1 cd emits a total luminous flux of 4π lm = 12.56 lm Illuminance: If a 1 m 2 surface receives a luminous flux of 1 lm, then the illuminance of the surface is 1 lux Example: Moonlight 1 lux; reading light 10 2 10 3 lux; surgery light 10 4 lux; direct sunlight 10 5 lux Luminance is the luminous intensity emitted per unit area of a light source. Luminance is a figure of merit for displays. Typical displays have a luminance of 100 500 cd/m 2. 68 Ref: http://www.pde.rpi.edu/courses/05s/led/ssl/frame.htm
Luminous Flux and Efficiency Φ lum Luminous flux lm = 683 W λ V ( λ) (Unit: lm) P( λ) dλ Luminous efficacy (Unit: lm / W) ( ) ( λ) λ lm Luminous efficacy = Φlum / P = 683 V ( λ) P( λ) dλ λ P d W λ 69 Luminous efficiency (Unit: lm / W) Luminous efficiency = Φlum / ( IV ) Caution: Some call luminous efficacy the luminous efficacy of radiation Caution: Some call luminous efficiency the luminous efficacy of the source Ref: http://www.pde.rpi.edu/courses/05s/led/ssl/frame.htm
