Photon irradiance,
,
integrated over the time of irradiation for a beam
incident from all upward directions. SI unit is
.
Notes:
Mathematical definition:
.
If the photon irradiance is constant over the time interval,
.
This term refers to a beam not scattered or reflected
by the target or its surroundings. For a beam incident from all directions
photon fluence
(,
)
is an equivalent term.
This quantity can be used on a chemical amount basis by dividing
by the Avogadro constant, the symbol then being
,
the name 'photon exposure, amount basis', SI unit is
;
common unit is
