The photoionization cross sections of the ground state approximately follow the scaling law as atomic number varies, but this law can not be applied to excited states because plasma electron distribution in the ASD model depends on specific bound states.

However, little is known about the rate of change in brightness and even less about the new composition of the nighttime light spectrum. In this study, we investigated the changes of brightness and colour of light pollution at night in a major road interchange, conducting measurements before and after the transition from high pressure sodium (HPS) yellow street lights to white LED lights. We used two ground-based photometers, one fixed (TESS-4C) and one mobile (LANcube), which provided long-term record of the artificial light at night at this location. We also quantified changes in nighttime lights as observed by the multispectral nighttime lights satellite SDGSAT-1. To ensure non-biased conditions, we used a random forest model to discriminate between clear and cloudy nights for our analysis of the TESS-4C measurements. These instruments offer a comprehensive analysis by measuring night-time brightness in various units and capturing distinct response spectra across different colour bands. We found an increase in nighttime brightness after the interchange was equipped with LED lamps compared to the previous HPS lamps. However, this increase was only identified by the ground sensors and not by the satellite. All sensors identified a shift in the emitted spectrum towards shorter wavelengths, with an increase in the red/green ratio being the most consistent across the sensors in quantifying the spectral change.

By systematically comparing a focusing FTIR system and an FTIR-based ellipsometer, we quantitatively evaluate the impact of divergence angle on emissivity measurements. The results indicate that the divergence angle in focusing FTIR systems leads to a reduction in measured emissivity to less than two-thirds of the expected value, while the ellipsometer, when properly configured, mitigates these errors through controlled collimation of incident light. Furthermore, we propose a method to determine and correct divergence angle effects using mathematical modeling and optical path analysis. The divergence angles were measured as 11°–13° for the focusing FTIR system and 1.04°–2.08° for the ellipsometer, demonstrating the effectiveness of ellipsometer in reducing measurement uncertainties.
