Summary 1.1 Introduction In this report an attempt has been made to (a) gather basic data and representative information on several 1000 watt lamps; (b) define terms and calculate representative performance; (c) establish a format for presentation of the data. There are many gaps. For example there is no good information on the conversion efficiency of Tungsten and it was estimated. Some of the arc brightness data appears to be inconsistent and needs further checking. We are not satisfied with the presentation of screen illumination data (especially the projection lens aperture) in Table I and will give it added consideration. With the further cautionary note that all of the data is preliminary and subject to revision we submit this first report. 1.2 Discussion Summary Photometry deals with the response of the eye to light. Thus radiant power from a source or.a surface must always be multiplied by the relative spectral sensitivity function of the eye to obtain values in photometric units. All tungsten lamps of whatever size and power when operated at the same color temperature have the same spectral distribution. The spectral distribution depends only upon the filament color temperature. Two filament shapes C-13 and C-13D are of greatest interest in projection work. The radiation lobes of these filaments are quite dif ferent but all lamps which use C-13 filaments will have Approved For Release 2005/02/17 : CIA-RDP78BO477OA001500050003-9 Approved For lease 2005/02/17 : CIA-RDP78B0477Q&001500050003-9 -2- approximately the same radiation lobe and all lamps which use the C-13D filaments will have approximately-the same radiation lobes. The xenon high pressure arc lamps have the same spectral distribution regardless of wattage and the spectral distribution of other high pressure arc lamps depends on the gas used. The conversion efficiency (radiated watts per input watt) of the compact high pressure arc lamps is approximately 507,. No good data is available for tungsten but the conversion efficiency is believed to be about 807.. 1.3 Data Summary Lamp data are summarized in Table I for ready reference. The color temperature, lamp life and lamp cost are manufacturer's published data. Note that the color tem- perature of the compact high pressure arc lamps are only approximate correlations to black body radiation, dis- regarding spectral lines. The luminance in lumens is from manufacturer's published data. The luminance in visible watts is lumens divided by 621* and is the area under the visibility curve expressed in watts. Note that this is quite different from the watts radiated in the visible region of the spectrum. The radiation conversion efficiency is an estimate for tungsten and for the arc lamps is taken from manufac- turer's data. The heat dissipated at the lamps and the * The quoted conversion value of lumens per watt varies from 621 to 692 depending on the source of information.

The radiation power in the non-visible and the radiated power in the visible were measured on the black body spectral distribution curves for tungsten and were taken from the manufacturer's data for xenon and xenon-mercury lamps. The power at the gate depends upon the collection efficiency and filter efficiency and is dervied from both the visible and non-visible radiation. The screen illumination data is based on total lamp lumens, the projection efficiency and a 30" square screen. In turn the projection efficiency is based on the product of a number of factors standardized for this report: a.) Collection efficiency (900 Collection angle) b.) Condenser transmission efficiency c.) Filter efficiency d.) Film gate blocking factor e.) Projection lens aperture blocking factor f.) Screen transmission 75:, screen gain 1.0. It was assumed that screen brightness would not change with magnification. This of course is an approxi- mation which is good only over a reasonable range of magnification such as up to 48x. The approximation results from the requirement to add condenser elements at higher magnifications. In addition for large filaments and large projection lens magnifications, the projection lens f/number may be unavailable.

Definition of Terms 2.1 Units and Equations There has been much unnecessary confusion with regard to photometry largely owing to the existence of an un- necessary number of terms that have found their way into the vocabulary. Actually there are four quantities that suffice to handle any problem that may arise in either radiometry or photometry. These disciplines together with the basic quantities are defined herein. (See also Table II) a.) Radiometry is the science of measurement of radiant energy. b.) Photometry is the science of measurement of visible radiant energy. c.) Radiant Flux is radiant energy transferred per unit of time. It is measured in units of power. d.) Luminous Flux is radiant flux evaluated with respect to the luminous efficiency of the radiation. e.) Radiant Intensity is the radiant flux emitted from a point per unit solid angle in a specified direction. f.) Luminous Intensity is the luminous flux emitted from a point per unit solid angle in a specified direction. g.) Radiance is the radiant intensity per unit area of an extended source. h.) Luminance is the luminous intensity per unit area of an extended source. Synonymous with brightness the term has been adopted to maintain analogous terminology between photometry and radiometry. i.) Irradiance is the radiant flux received per unit Approved For Release 2005/02/17 : CIA-RDP78BO477OA001500050003-9 TABLE II TABLE OF UNITS Radiometry (Total Radiation) Photometry (Visible Radiation) S TERM BOL UNITS TERM BOA.

It is also sometimes known as flux density. 3.) Illuminance is the luminous flux received per unit area of a surface. Also referred to as illumination, or flux density, it has been adopted to maintain analogous terminology between photometry and radiometry. The above are the quantities essential for solving problems. Other quantities of interest are: a.) Radiant Emittance is the radiant flux emitted per unit area of an extended source. b.) Luminous Emittance is the luminous flux emitted per unit area of an extended source. c.) Luminosity. Total luminous flux expressed in lumens. Mathematically expressed as L s 62 if V(() E(21) d; where VW is the relative visibility function standard which has been adopted as most re- presentative of the human eye, and E(7)is the spectral emittance function of the source. d.) Luminous Efficiency : The ratio of luminosity to total radiant flux. Expressed in lumens per radiated watt. e.) Luminous Coefficient : Ratio of luminous power (I.e. luminous flux) in watts to radiant power (i.e. radiant flux) in watts. f.)

That amount of light that produces the visual response provided by .00161 watt of mono"hromatic light at 555 millimicron. h.) Foot-Lambert - A unit of luminance (applied to screens) that is numerically equal to the illuminance in lumens per square foot incident on the screen, if the screen is perfectly diffuse and perfectly transmitting or reflecting. The terms Lambert and Foot-Lambert used in reference to brightness of screens deserve some explanation. The difference between the Lambert and Foot-Lambert is the unit area of screen referred to. Lambert refers to cm-2 as unit area and foot-lambert refers to ft-2 as unit area. The lambert is a convenient term for expressing the transmission or reflection of the visible light falling on a screen. The assumption is that the visible light falling on a screen is transmitted (or reflected) over a full hemisphere (i.e. 2ir steradians). The intensity lobe of a Lambertian screen is therefore shown as: Approved For Release 2005/02/17 : CIA-RDP78BO477OA001500050003-9 Approved For.$elease 2005/02/17 : CIA-RDP78BO477UO01500050003-9 -10- Thus a lambertian screen is considered to be perfectly trans- mitting (or reflecting) and perfectly diffuse. If a screen is not Lambertian, then the transmission (or reflection) and the screen gain must be taken into account. i.) Diffuse - Descriptive of an emitting, reflecting or transmitting surface. A surface whose in- tensity varies as the cosine of the angle of emission of transmitted (or reflected) light. In consequence of this property, the brightness of a diffuse surface is independent of the viewing angle. j.) Screen Gain - The ratio of the length of the intensity lobe of an actual screen to that of a perfectly diffusing screen. The "length" is the radius vector of the polar plot in the direction of the light for transmitting. screens. 2.2 Visibility The relative visibility function, V(k) of the stand- ard observer is given in Fig. 1. The eye is well adapted to the peak of the spectral distribution of sunlight as shown in Fig. 2. Sunlight is approximately equivalent to Black Body radiation at about 6000?K. At lower color temperatures, a much lower fraction of radiant power is visible-, as illustrated in Fig. 3 for Black Body Radiation at 3250?K. Note in Fig. 3 that the cross hatched area, which is the multiplication of ordinates of the visiblity function and the radiated power, is the visible power in watts/cm2. Multiplying by 621 gives the visible power in lumens/cm2.

Technical Discussion 3.1 Source Characteristics All present lamps use a hot gas or a hot solid as their radiation source (with the exception of lasers). All incandescent lamps using tungsten filaments (regard- less of wattage or filament geometry) will have a spectral distribution and brightness determined by the color tem- perature at which the filament is operated. Tungsten radiates much like a black body as shown in Fig. 4. The brightness of tungsten rises rapidly with color temperature as shown in Fig. 5. The luminous coefficient also increases with color temperature, however, filament life goes down. Black body radiation for a number of color-tem- peratures is shown in Fig. 6 and can be taken as a close approximation of the radiation distribution of tungsten filament lamps at the given color temperatures. As the color temperature increases the peak moves up and to the left (towards the blue end of the spectrum). The curve becomes more peaked with less radiation in the infra-red. The area, P, under the radiated curve increases markedly with color temperature. P m T4 where: P a Radiant flux, watts per unit radiating area 'T s Stefan-Boltzmann radiation constant , 5.709 x 10-12 watts/cm2 deg4 T = Absolute temperature, degrees Kelvin Thus for higher color temperatures, less radiating area is required to radiate a given amount of power. The above equation neglects ambient temperature. * The quoted figures for the Stefan-Boltzmann constant vary from 5.67 to 5.735 depending on the source of information.

Spectral radiation lines are superimposed on the black body radiation of the hot gas. 3.2 Lamp Efficiency There are two kinds of efficiency that must be con- sidered in the evaluation of a lamp, conversion efficiency and luminous efficiency. That fraction of the electrical input power that is converted into radiant power is termed the conversion efficiency. The remainder of the power is converted into heat in the base, connecting leads, envelope, etc. Thus conversion efficiency is an indication of the cooling that must take place at the source. Comparing the data of several manufacturers, the conversion efficiency of the compact are is approximately-50%, .although General Electric claims 607. for their 5 KW Xenon lamp. Good information regarding conversion efficiency of tungsten filament lamps has not been found to date. According to Hardy and Perrin, "Principles of Optics," the losses may amount to "20 percent or more of the power input." In the course of preparing the present report, an effort was made to find a more exact number, but with questionable results. According to the Stefan-Boltzmann law, a black body at 32500K radiates a total of 640 watts/cm2. The distribution curve was calculated from Planck's equation for a black body at that temperature, and the ordinates multiplied by those of the relative spectral sensitivity Approved For Release 2005/02/17 : CIA-RDP78BO477OA001500050003-9 Approved For (ease 2005/02/17 : CIA-RDP78BO477 01500050003-9 -10- curve of the eye. The resulting data were plotted, and the area under the curve was measured with a planimeter. It showed the luminous power to be 31 x 108 ergs/sec/cm2, or 31 watts/cm2. Over several measurements the average deviation from the value was 77., but the maximum deviation was 14.57. and in the positive direction. The greatest negative de- viation was 87.. Based on 31 watts/cm2, the luminous efficiency is 30 lumens/radiated watt. Information in the G. E. projection lamp catalogue indicates that lamps burning at approximately 3250?K provide 28 lumens/input watt. Similar information from Sylvania varies from 23.8 to 29 lumens/input-watt. Using 30 lumens/watt calculated above as the luminous efficiency, the resulting conversion efficiency varies from 977. to 79.57. depending on the manufacturers data used. Taking the uncertainty of the planimeter measurements into account, the value can be in excess of 1007. or as low as 687.. While the value was not established with accuracy, it can be reasonably concluded that the conversion efficiency of the incandescent lamp is higher than that of the arc and has been tentatively assumed to be 807.. No information is available on other lamp types. 3.3 Requirements for Cooling at Film Despite the fact that infra-red radiation is common- ly referred to as "heat waves," radiant power of any wave- length, , including the visual region, is converted to heat upon being absorbed. The problem of determining the amount Approved For Release 2005/02/17: CIA-RDP78BO477OA001500050003-9 Approved For F (ease 2005/02/17 : CIA-RDP78BO477OA901500050003-9 of heat to be dissipated at the film is one of the finding the power in watts, rather than lumens, that reaches the film. The most reliable approach is to start with the electrical input and calculate the ultilization as follows: 1. Radiant power - Conversion Efficiency x input power 2. Collection efficiency - Solid angle collected Total solid angle the solid angle collected is established by the numerical aperture of the condenser, and can be taken as -7T(NA)2 . The total solid angle depends on the type of lamp. The gas arc lamps characteristically radiate through a meridional, plane angle of 1200, which amounts to about 11 steradians. The obscuration is generally less in incandescent lamps and 12 steradians is a reasonable approximation. 3. Collected power - Collection efficiency x radiant power The transmission is the product of the transmission factors of all the elements in the illuminating system. Filtering is used to reduce the non-visible radiation and the filter factors are different for the visible and non- visible power, and the appropriate filter factor applied to each. 4. Luminous ,per - Luminous coefficient x radiant power 5. Non-Luminous power - Radiant power - luminous power Approved For Release 2005/02/17 : CIA-RDP78BO477OA001500050003-9 Approved For Ffease 2005/02/17 : CIA-RDP78B04770*601500050003-9 Infra-red rejecting interference filters begin to lose their effectiveness at slightly over 1 micron, and the heat absorbing glass is used to absorb the longer wavelengths. Transmission curves are presented in section 3.6. From these curves we estimate that approximately 757. of the luminous power and 37. of the non-luminous power will be transmitted. Roughly one percent will be absorbed by every one centimeter of glass in the condenser. (The refinement of the increased IR absorption of the condenser lenses has not been included.) Each air-glass surface will reflect 47. at normal incidence and more at larger angles if they are not coated. With coatings this is reduced to 17. -27.. Aluminum mirrors reflect approximately 887. of the visible spectrum. In the event that the film has large areas of density 2 or thereabouts, it is necessary to provide cooling at the film for 997. of radiant watts reaching it. We therefore assume that cooling required at the film equals the full number of watts reaching the film. 6. Power at film - Transmission x collected power 3.4 Cooling at Lamp In most cases manufacturers state the cooling re- quirements at the lamp, "for ordinary circumstances." If the information is not given, or if the circumstances are not ordinary and if the conversion efficiency is known, the watts to be dissipated are PD - (l-E) P1 Approved For Release 2005/02/17 : CIA-RDP78BO477OA001500050003-9 Approved For Release 2005/02/17 : CIA-RDP78BO4770 01500050003-9 -22- where: PD - Power to be dissipated, watts E - Conversion efficiency of the lamp P1 - Power input, watts For example, a 1KW Xenon lamp is report to have an efficiency of 0.5. Thus provision must be made for dissi- pating 'KW by convection or conduction. Uhen considering cooling of both the lamp and the lamp house (including condensers and filters), only the power reaching the film gate can be excluded. Since about 909'. of the input power does not reach the film gate, it is a safe approximation to provide cooling capacity for the entire input power. 3.5 Form Factor The geometrical form of the light source is an im- portant consideration in the design of projection illuminating systems. For the projection of large formats it is man- datory that the illuminating system be of the type that forms the source image at or near the entrance pupil of the projection lens rather than at the film, as in the case of commercial cinema projection. The projection lens is utilized to the extent that its aperture is uniformly filled with the image of the source. Thus, for optimum utilization, the source should be a round disc, uniformly luminous, and sufficiently large for the condenser to magnify it to the diameter of the projection lens aperture. Approved For Release 2005/02/17 : CIA-RDP78BO477OA001500050003-9 Approved Fo Release 2005/02/17 : CIA-RDP78BO47-AQA001500050003-9 -23- It is shown in section 3.9 that the merit function of a light source is the product of its average brightness and its useful projected area. If a source has a long narrow aspect ratio, and the designer is successful in filling the projection lens aperture with the narrow dimension of the source, that portion of the length that falls outside the projection lens aperture is not useful. The following is a discussion of various-lamp types in terms of the above considerations. 3.5.1 Flat Disc Sources The flat disc source is typical of two series of lamps manufactured by Sylvania. The Zirconium arc and the RF lamp both satisfy the conditions of being round and uniformly bright, and some of them are sufficiently large to satisfy the requirement of filling the projection lens aperture. Since the sources are flat, the polar intensity distribution varies as the cosine of the angle of emittance, and the illuminance at the entrance pupil of the condenser drops off according to the cos4 law. For large aperture condensers the problem of obtaining uniform illuminance at the film is difficult. 3.5.2 Compact Arcs The compact arc is a luminous volume, roughly in the form of a truncated cone. While there are severe brightness gradients across both its length and its width, the use of a spherical mirror to return the backward radia- tion to the arc has some tendency to improve the uniformity by reflecting the more intense (cathode) portion back into the less intense (anode) portion. Even though the brightness is not uniform, it is continuous, as opposed to that of a Approved For Release 2005/02/17 : CIA-RDP78BO477OA001500050003-9 Approved Forl4elease 2005/02/17 : CIA-RDP78B0477QQr001500050003-9 -24- filament. While the arcs are not large enough to permit filling the aperture of a projection lens, their average brightness is so great that the highest wattage versions provide the largest amount of total luminous flux of any of the lamps found in the course of this investigation. 3.5.3 Plasma Are .According to figures obtained from Plasmadyne Corp. early in 1963, the shape of the vortex-stabilized plasma arc closely approaches a cylinder, and has less of a gradient along the length of the are than does the ordinary compact arc. Its polar distribution of intensity varies in much the same way, with a strong peak on the cathode side. 3.5.4 Long Narrow Cylinder Both the quartz-iodine lamp and the mercury capillary can be classed as long narrow cylinders. With the axis of the cylinder normal to the optical axis the form factor is unfavorable in the light of the above remarks on useful area. For any practical sizes of field and projection lens aperture it is impossible for the con- denser to fill the lens aperture with the narrow dimension of the source image, and to the extent that the length is magnified beyond the diameter of the lens it represents watts consumed to no other effect than the-production of heat to be dissipated. Conceivably the form might be used to better advantage if it is coaxial with the optical system. If so used at the first focus of an illipsoidal reflector, a conically shaped image volume is formed at the second focus, and this image might be used as the object for a refracting Approved For Release 2005/02/17 : CIA-RDP78BO477OA001500050003-9 Approved Foielease 2005/02/17 : CIA-RDP78BO477GA001500050003-9 -25 condenser. Without investigating such a system it is not possible to evaluate it fairly, but it is doubtful that it would have advantages. Polar plots of intensity distribution are not available for lamps of this type, but it is anticipated that there would be approximately a cosine variation in the plane containing the axis, and it may safely be assumed that it is uniform in the plane normal to the axis. 3.5.5 Tungsten Filament C-13 Type The C-13 type of filament is a single row of Tungsten coils with a format that is almost square. Used with a spherical back-up mirror to form a filament image placed between the actual coils, a typical C-13 filament can be expected to have an average brightness over its area of almost 907. of the actual coil brightness. On such a filament measured in this laboratory, the average coil diameter was 897. of the width of the spaces between coils, and allowing a reflectivity of 887. for the reflector, the coil images will be 787. as effective as if the filament were solidly filled. Fig. 7 shows the radiation lobe of the C-13 filament as measured by Wallin Optical Systems. 3.5.6 Tungsten Filament C-13D Type The C-13D filament is constructed with two rows of coils, staggered so that the rear row fills the gaps between those of the front row. Thus, viewed axially, or through a narrow angle, it is almost a solid luminous area. However, for large acceptance angles, i.e. for high numerical aperture condensers, the front row shadows the roar row, with the result that the polar distribution Approved For Release 2005/02/17 : CIA-RDP78BO477OA001500050003-9 Appr ced: o rcRelease' 2005/02/1741 IA-RDP78BO477OA001500050003-9 ,I. 1111111!

Fig. 8 shows the radiation lobe of the C-13D filament as.measured by Wallin Optical Systems. 3.6 Filters ? Three types of filters are available to eliminate the infra-red. The so-called cold mirror is a multi-layer inter- ference filter that transmits the near infra-red and ultra- violet and reflects the visible radiation. In a folded system, this type of filter permits transmitting the infra-red into a heat sink. The reverse type of interference filter, known as a hot mirror, can be used when no fold in the optical path is desired. In that case, the near infra-red and ultra- violet are reflected off to the side into a heat sink, and the visible passes straight through. In both cases, the effectiveness is only for the near infra-red. Good data are not available beyond 1 micron, but it may be presumed that the effectiveness fails some- where between 1 and 2 microns. Since tungsten and Xenon have a considerable portion of their radiation in the longer infra-red, it is advisable to use a heat absorbing glass in conjunction with the interference filter. In such a case the interference filter should be nearer to the lamp in order to reject as much of the unwanted radiation as possible before it is absorbed by the heat absorbing glass, because a portion of what is absorbed will be re-radiated as longer wavelength infra-red.

The Balzer heat reflecting filter transmits about 907. of the visible and about 67 of the near infra-red. There is no data on the far infra-red. The transmission drops steeply above 0.64 microns. The Corning Glass infra-red absorbing, visible trans- mitting filter absorbs about 977. of the infra-red above 1 micron. 3.7 Lamp Tolerances and Replacement Time No attempt has as yet been made to take into account the fact that replacement cost includes not only the pur- chase price of the lamp, but also the labor cost of making the replacement. In high numerical aperture condensing systems, use is necessarily made of aspheric elements, which tend to make alignment extremely critical. Thus, where dimensional tolerances of the lamps are known, those lamps made to the tighter tolerances are favored. Replacement time is highly specific to a particular projector design. No suitable general assumption has been found so far. 3.8 Spectral Distribution Tungsten lamps in the higher wattages have very close to a black body spectral distribution with color temperatures ranging from 28000 to 3400?K. Some are available with rated lives as long as 50 hours, while 25 hours is more common. The carbon arc has the very desirable property of a black body distribution whose color temperature can be in- creased to that of sunlight by operating under pressure.

According to Hanovia data, a Xenon lamp has 23.67. of its radiated energy in the visible region while a Xenon-Mercury lamp has 41% in the visible. While these data make the Xenon-Mercury lamp sound attractive, it becomes less attractive when one con- siders that the quality of the light is blue-green. 3.9 Screen Illumination from B and A. Evaluation of a lamp cannot actually be made without reference to the optical system with which it is used.

Actually if the condenser magnification does not fill the projection lens with the source image, AL must depend on As, the projected area of the source. In case of a compact arc the image of which is unlikely to fill the lens in either direction, the relationship is simply AL - mc2 A. where: me - Condenser magnification As = Projected area of the source For a long narrow source, AL will be roughly rect- angular limited by the projection lens diameter along its length, while its width is the product of the source width and the condenser magnification.

Thus calling the screen area AI, the illumination is 2 k B As (NA)2 In the above equation, the characteristics of the projection lens and film size have been completely eliminat- ed, and it is seen that for a source that does not fill the projection lens, the screen illumination depends on the numerical aperture of the condenser, on the screen size, and on the transmission factor of the entire optical system.

When a C-13 or C-13D filament is used it is generally possible to fill the projection lens aperture, and the avail- able lens speed becomes the limiting factor. In that case the screen illumination may be expressed E - 1 1 B D 2 4(1+m)2 f Approved For Release 2005/02/17 : CIA=RDP78B04770A001500050003-9 Approved For,&lease 2005/02/17 : CIA-RDP78BO477OA001500050003-9 -35- The trade off that follows from the preceding dis- cussion is that with a small source of high brightness, the condenser should be of high numerical aperture, but a relatively slow projection lens may be used. With a large source, having a lower brightness, a lower condenser magni- fication and accordingly a lower numerical aperture of the condenser lens will serve to fill the aperture of existing projection lenses, but the burden is imposed on the pro- jection lens, which must be of correspondingly higher speed. In order to evaluate and compare screen brightness obtainable from the various lamps, certain standard con- ditions were assumed. For the equation: 2 k B As (NA) AI assumptions were: E - Illumination falling'on screen, lm!ft2 k - Total transmission factor of the entire optical system - 0.3 B - Source brightness from manufactures data, lm/mm2 As s Source area from manufactures data, mm NA - Numerical aperture of condenser lens a 0.707 for a 900 collecting angle AI = Screen area - 6.25 ft2 for a 30" square screen When screen brightness was computed, it was found that tungsten lamps were several times brighter than the Xenon or Xenon-Mercury lamps and this result was not con- sistent with the comparative total luminous flux output of the lamps as quoted by the manufactures. Approved For Release 2005/02/17 : CIA-RDP78BO477OA001500050003-9 Approved For$eIease 2005/02/17 : CIA-RDP78BO477Q4Q01500050003-9 -36- The B and As data were suspect. For the compact arc lamps, the average source brightness, B, is dependent upon what source area, As, the brightness is averaged over. The manufactures data for B and As varied greatly for lamps which, it appeared, should be nearly equal. The total lumen output data for the lamps appeared to be more consistent and probably more reliable since measurement by the lamp manufacturer was relatively easy in an integrating sphere. Therefore an alternate method of computing screen illumination was sought. 3.10 Screen Illumination from Total Lamp Luminance The alternate method of predicting screen illumination. consists of determining the fraction of the total lumens collected and transmitted and dividing by the area of the screen over which it is spread. where: E - Density of the luminous flux falling on the screen, lumens/ft2 k - Total collection and transmission factor, dimensionless A Q Area of the screen, ft2 a 6.25 ft2 for a 30 inch square screen The density of the luminous flux falling on a screen in lumens/ft2 is numerically equal to the brightness in ft. lamberts of a perfectly transmitting (or reflecting) and perfectly diffusing screen.

One pattern consists of two tangent spherical lobes. It is representative of planar type tungsten filaments. In both plan view and Side elevation, the lobes are lsmbe--tian distributions. The total radiation is the volume of the two spheres. For each sphere this is Ifr3 where: r - The radiation intensity vector The radiation collected is represented by a right circular cone with apex at the filament and the base at the condenser lens. The collected radiation is thus the inter- section volume of the cone and the sphere.. The intersection volume is: V = 3 r3 sin2 (2u) cos2u + 4 7(r3 sin4u (3 sin 2u - 2 sin2u) where: V = Volume of intersection = collected flux r = Radius of the lambertian sphere u = Half angle of the collection cone To permit a standardized comparison of lamps, we have arbitrarily selected a condenser lens with a"90? plane collection angle. Thus: NA- 0.7 and u= 450 Approved For Release 2005/02/17 : CIA-RDP78BO477OA001500050003-9 Approved Forplease 2005/02/17: CIA-RDP78BO477 001500050003-9 -38- and the collected flux is: V a IIf r3 + 22 r3 wr3 The fraction collected will therefore be the ratio of volume of intersection to the total volume of the two spheres: r3 11 - - - 0.375 4 3 Ile The other radiation pattern to be considered is a toroidal shape. A compact arc radiates uniformly through 360? in the plane normal to its axis, while in the meridional section (side elevation) the distribution is roughly Lambertian. Thus the total radiation may be represented approximately by a toric volume. V - 2 2r3 where: V - Volume of toroid - total flux r = Radius of lambertian cross section and radius of revolution of the toroid The flux collected is that portion of the torus intercepted by the cone of acceptance of the condenser. A condenser of NA.7 has a 900 collection cone. A 90? plane wedge would take in 0.25 of the flux. Thus the 90? cone is accepting approximately (and somewhat less than) 257. of the flux.

One factor is the light blocked by the film-format shape which we call format blocking. For a square film format inscribed in circular condenser lens the flux falling in the circular segments outside the square format is not used. The flux falling inside the square format is found by: Format blocking factor 2r - 0.637 Z 71' Ir where: r - Radius of condenser lens also: r-- Semi-diagonal of film format The other factor to be considered is projection lens aperture blocking. When the condenser magnifies the source, so that it fully fills the projection lens aperture (as it normally does for tungsten filament lamps), then the flux falling outside the circular projection lens aperture is not used. For a square filament shape, such as C-13 and C-13D, the flux falling inside the projection lens cir- cular aperture is found by: Aperture blocking factor (2r) - v - 0.786. The aperture blocking factor is not applicable to the compact arc lamps since the image of the source normally lies wholly within the projection lens aperture. For other source shapes, the factor will be the area of the source image. falling inside the lens aperture divided by the total area of the source image at the projection lens aperture.
