  3. Optical power meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_power_meter

    On the display unit, the measured optical power and set wavelength is displayed. Power meters are calibrated using a traceable calibration standard. A traditional optical power meter responds to a broad spectrum of light, however, the calibration is wavelength dependent. This is not normally an issue, since the test wavelength is usually known ...

  4. Light meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_meter

    Use of a light meter for portrait cinematography in a Turkish music video set. A light meter (or illuminometer) is a device used to measure the amount of light.In photography, an exposure meter is a light meter coupled to either a digital or analog calculator which displays the correct shutter speed and f-number for optimum exposure, given a certain lighting situation and film speed.

  5. List of measuring instruments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_measuring_instruments

    The combination R-G-B = HH-HV-VV combines radar images of waves sent and received horizontally (HH), sent horizontally and received vertically (HV) and sent and received vertically (VV). The calibration of such instruments is done by imaging objects (calibration targets) whose radar brightness is known.

  6. Guide number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guide_number

    An incident-light meter measures the true luminous exposure (in lux⋅seconds) arriving at a scene. The magnitude of guide numbers is a function of the following four variables: The total luminous energy (in lumen⋅seconds) emitted by the flash head (which is itself the product of the duration and the average luminous flux of a flash).

  7. Illuminance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illuminance

    In SI units illuminance is measured in lux (lx), or equivalently in lumens per square metre (lm·m −2). [2] Luminous exitance is measured in lm·m −2 only, not lux. [4] In the CGS system, the unit of illuminance is the phot, which is equal to 10 000 lux. The foot-candle is a non-metric unit of illuminance that is used in photography. [5]

  8. Foot-candle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot-candle

    In the US lighting industry, foot-candles are a common unit of measurement used by architects to calculate adequate lighting levels. Foot-candles are also commonly used in the museum and gallery fields in the US, where lighting levels must be carefully controlled to conserve light-sensitive objects such as prints, photographs, and paintings, the colors of which fade when exposed to bright ...
