Discovering Photon Flux from UV Source

AI Thread Summary
Determining the photon flux from a UV source requires more than just the intensity and wavelength spectrum; additional measurements are necessary. Specifically, power over the area of exposure must be included to accurately calculate photon flux. The discussion highlights the importance of having units for counts and integration time to derive meaningful data. Without these measurements, the calculations remain incomplete. Accurate photon flux assessment is crucial for various applications in UV research and technology.

Hi!

I would like to ask if there is possible to find out the photon flux emitted by a uv source having only the intensity/wavelength spectrum of the source?

Not without some units somewhere.

That still doesn't say anything. It should be measuring power over the area of exposure, the latter is another quantity that you need.

Thread 'Reflections at the source point of a transmission line'

I was using the Smith chart to determine the input impedance of a transmission line that has a reflection from the load. One can do this if one knows the characteristic impedance Zo, the degree of mismatch of the load ZL and the length of the transmission line in wavelengths. However, my question is: Consider the input impedance of a wave which appears back at the source after reflection from the load and has traveled for some fraction of a wavelength. The impedance of this wave as it...
