We developed quantification method based on the concept of candela in physics. The measurement of fluorescence signal from a nude mouse in the research of molecular biology. In the measurement of the optical signal with CCD, the quantification method for photon counts based on bio-luminescence imaging technique can provide comparative reference data. In this paper, we described theoretical derivation of our proposed concept. We hope this method could be a useful standard reference for quantitative date analysis in optical imaging.

Daylighting software is an important component to predict the performance of daylighting system in advance of a field demonstration study with installing them in buildings. PHOTOPIA is a powerful software to generate a candela distribution curve(CDC) of an active daylighting system like a tracking dish concentrator. With PHOTOPIA, a set of candela distribution curves was generated under clear sky conditions and different solar altitude angles. The candela distribution curves were then imported to RADIANCE for rendering and analysis on the daylighting performance of a tracking dish concentrator when it installed in a actual class room without windows. As a result, the daylight collection efficiency of the dish concentrator was 68.4% when we assumed that there was no tracking error. It was found that candela(cd) and total lumens(lm) increased with solar altitude rising, whereas the distribution angle was fixed. The illuminance uniformity on the work plane in the class room was relatively low, 0.12, while the illuminance uniformity on the area of $2.7m^2$ to which the light was illuminated was considerably high, 0.60. The maximum illuminance was 1,340lux with a solar altitude angle of 80 degrees.

A set of candela distribution curves(CDCs) were generated for a fiber optic dish daylighting system by Photopia under clear sky conditions at different solar altitudes. The candela distribution curves were then exported to Radiance for photometric analysis of a windowless lecture room. Observations were made on the Radiance rendered illuminance images, which provided photo realistic scenes varying with solar altitudes. If no tracking error were assumed, the daylight collection efficiency of the system remained at a constant value of 68.4% during its operation. Higher the solar altitude angle, greater in photometric quantities were observed, which are represented by candela(cd) and total lumens(lm). In all cases considered, however, the angle of light distribution remained fixed reflecting the solar tracking feature of the system. The illuminance uniformity on the workplane lingered around 0.12, which is quite low. This is quite a contrast to its average value of 0.68 of the $2.7m^2$ area directly below the terminal device (diffuser) of the system. The maximum illuminance of 1,340lux was obtained at a solar altitude of 80 degrees.

We realized the national standard of the candela, one of the SI units, by using two photometers with the spectral responsivity measured in reference to the absolute cryogenic radiometer. The external apertures of the photometers were fabricated using a diamond turning machine, and measured in terms of area with uncertainty of 0.05 %(k = 1). The candela is realized using a 1 kW FEL lamp and the characterized photometers on an optical bench. The uncertainty is budgeted to be 0.25 %(k = 1) considering the uncertainty of the spectral responsivity and the response uniformity of the detectors, the area of the external apertures, the color temperature of the lamp, and the positioning reproducibility of the photometers and the lamp. We verified the realized scale by comparing with the scale of National Institute of Standards and Technology, USA. They coincided with each other within 0.1%.

The uncertainty of the detector-based candela scale is limited by the area measurement uncertainty of radiometric apertures. The apertures were fabricated with a diamond-turning machine which trimmed the edge of the apertures as sharply as a knife edge. The positions of the apertures were controlled by a digital feedback algorithm to scan the laser spot with the beam waist less than 5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The knife edge scan yielded a set of coordinates on the edges of the aperture. The areas of the apertures were obtained by fitting the coordinates to the ellipses. The relative standard uncertainty of the measurement was estimated to be 8${\times}$10$^{-5}$.

극저온복사계로부터 출발하여 광도의 기본 단위인 칸델라(Candela) 눈금은 물론 복사조도(irradiance), 조명도(illuminance)와 같은 유도 단위를 실현하기 위해서는 검출기의 시야를 한정하는 구멍의 면적을 측정하는 기술이 매우 중요하다. 구멍의 면적을 측정하는 한가지 방법은 탐촉자를 물리적으로 접촉시켜서 구멍의 가장자리를 결정하고, 구멍의 기하학적 모양을 가정하여 면적을 계산하는 것이다. (중략)

광도 측정의 기본단위인 칸델라 눈금을 확립하는 방법에는 흑체에서 방출되는 분광복사휘도를 기준으로 사용하는 광원 기반 방법과 극저온 절대 복사계(absolute cryogenic radiometer； ACR)로 부터 출발하여 실현하는 검출기 기반의 두 가지 방법이 사용된다. ACR를 사용하면서 검출기 기반 칸델라 눈금의 불확도가 흑체의 온도 측정 불확도로부터 전파되는 불확도 보다 휠씬 작기 때문에 각국의 국가 측정 표준 대표기관에서 검출기 기반 칸텔라 눈금을 실현하고, 교정이나 측정 서비스를 제공하고 있다. (중략)

This study presents the simulation results of Photopia when a lecture room with north-facing windows were illuminated by two different types of daylighting systems to improve the imbalance in its lighting conditions. Especially, the candela power distribution curves (CDCs) on a clear sunny day at the summer solstice, reaching $80^{\circ}$ in solar altitude, were analyzed with respect to the illuminance available at task areas (work planes). The difference between its illuminance on the north and south areas exceeded 1,000 lux without any daylighting system. This, however, decreased drastically with the application of a daylighting system. When a light tube system was introduced, it reduced from 906lx to 603lx and, even further to 308lx with the application of a dish concentrator system. Generally, the performance of a light tube system was greatly influenced by solar altitude while its effect on the dish concentrator system was rather negligible.

광도의 기본 단위인 칸델라(Candela) 눈금은 물론 복사조도(irradiance), 조명도(illuminance)와 같은 유도 단위를 실현하기 위해서는 검출기의 시야를 한정하는 개구면적의 정밀한 측정이 필요하다. 여기에서는 가장자리의 광학적 검출방법에 의한 개구면적의 산출방식을 소개하고, 가우시안광에 의한 면적 측정법의 측정값과도 비교하여 그 결과를 보여준다. 기존의 개구 면적 측정방식으로 한가지 방법은 탐촉자를 물리적으로 접촉시켜서 개구의 가장자리를 결정하고, 개구의 기하학적 모양을 원으로 가정하여 면적을 산출하는 방식이 있는데, 이 방법을 사용하면 기계적인 접촉에 의하여 칼날과 같았던 개구의 가장자리가 손상을 입게 되기 때문에 측정이 잘못되는 것은 물론이고, 이렇게 측정된 개구를 사용하게되면 손상된 부위에 의한 면적의 변화와 이로 인한 산란이 증가하게 된다.
