ciespec2aopic

The ciespec2aopic function derives the \alpha-opic quantities from any given spectral power distribution(s). Any errors in the data set or in results generated with the Lighting Toolbox are not in the liability of the CIE nor me, see licence.

Note: the result is given in \textrm{W}\cdot \textrm{m}^{-2} , in literature the results are often given in \textrm{mW}\cdot \textrm{m}^{-2} .

Usage:

aopic = ciespec2aopic(lam,spec)

Where:

ParameterDescription
aopicIs the return vector/matrix containing the \alpha-opic values in the following order: sc, mc, lc, rh, mel
lamSpecifies the wavelengths.
specSpecifies the spectral power distribution (SPD)

Examples

Derive \alpha-opic values from standard illuminant ‘A’ with illuminance of E = 100~\textrm{lx}:

lam = 360:830;
spec = ciespec(lam,'A',100);
aopic = ciespec2aopic(lam,spec)

See also: ciespec, ciespec2Y

Result:

aopic =

   0.025412   0.117421   0.165670   0.083070   0.065744

Derive \alpha-opic values from standard illuminant ‘D55’, ‘D65’ and ‘D75’ with illuminances of E = 100~\textrm{lx}:

lam = 360:830;
spec = ciespec(lam,{'D55','D65','D75'},100);
aopic = ciespec2aopic(lam,spec)

See also: ciespec, ciespec2Y

Result:

aopic =

   0.068531   0.141099   0.162862   0.133744   0.119892
   0.081729   0.145582   0.162890   0.144970   0.132621
   0.092530   0.148941   0.163030   0.153757   0.142691

This means:

E_{v,sc}^{D55} = 68.531~\textrm{mW}\cdot \textrm{m}^{-2} \qquad \dots \qquad E_{v,mel}^{D55} = 119.892~\textrm{mW}\cdot \textrm{m}^{-2}

E_{v ,sc}^{D65} = 81.729~\textrm{mW}\cdot \textrm{m}^{-2} \qquad \dots \qquad E_{v,mel}^{D65} = 132.621~\textrm{mW}\cdot \textrm{m}^{-2}

E_{v ,sc}^{D75} = 92.253~\textrm{mW}\cdot \textrm{m}^{-2} \qquad \dots \qquad E_{v,mel}^{D75} = 142.691~\textrm{mW}\cdot \textrm{m}^{-2}
