To verify the measurement accuracy of this method, a monochromator, which has a 0 - 45°incident optical system, was used. The BRDF (Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function) of the phosphor was measured by a goniophotometer. A comparison was made between these JCSS traceable measuring devices on the 260-400 nm wavelength characteristics of the internal quantum efficiency of the blue phosphor BAM (BaMgAl10O17:Eu2+) , which has excitation characteristics up to 400 nm. The results agreed within 4 % of the difference of the measured values. This is a good agreement considering that it was a composite measure and that the uncertainty of the spectral irradiance standard in the spectral region is lower than 3 %. It has also been established that the proposed method using a polychromator and an integrating sphere shows sufficient measurement accuracy.","PeriodicalId":311488,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Light & Visual Environment","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127994378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three experiments were conducted to evaluate the impacts of flicker varying in frequency and modulation depth on visual performance, comfort and preference. In one experiment, subjects performed a numerical verification task under flickering illumination from 100 to 1000 Hz and from 25% to 100% flicker. Error rates were lower under higher frequency and lower flicker modulation and visual comfort was slightly higher. In the second experiment, subjects preferred higher frequency and lower modulation than 100 Hz, 100% flicker. In the third experiment, subjects equated perceived quality from illumination with higher frequency or lower modulation flicker when the illuminance was reduced by about half, relative to 100 Hz, 100% flicker.

The radiant power of intense narrow band ultraviolet radiation at 207 nm is derived from the irradiance according to Keitz formula while the input power is measured and compared by Lissajous figure and integration of voltage and current. It is shown that the measurement power of integration of voltage and current achieves more accuracy.

The excitation mechanism used is similar to that employed in mercury lamps, but without the power and geometry constraints of radiation trapping. This new system is highly compatible with phosphors as it operates at modest temperature in an inert gas and the 172 nm primary radiation is narrow band. A prototype fluorescent white light lamp achieved an efficacy of 90 lm/W. Higher values are projected.
