[Nirfast] Regarding the NIRFAST source

[Stanislaw Wojtkiewicz]

Hi Sandhya

 

It can be any unit you need. A source amplitude is equal to 1. Therefore, if
you decide that your source emits 123456 photons per mm^3 per second,
multiply your results by 123456 and it will be in your source unit. Do the
same with any unit you like.

In general, the NIRFAST result can be expressed as the photons fluence rate
in [mm^-3s^-1] and no 'photons', 'J' or 'W' is used as this is not needed.
The source is of amplitude 1 and photons, Joules or Watts simply scale the
result.

Hi All,

 

Does anyone know what the units of the source in NIRFAST would be? Ex:
photons/mm^3, J/mm^3 etc.

 

Thanks!
