A source amplitude is equal to 1. Therefore, if<br>you decide that your source emits 123456 photons per mm^3 per second,<br>multiply your results by 123456 and it will be in your source unit. Do the<br>same with any unit you like.<br><br>In general, the NIRFAST result can be expressed as the photons fluence rate<br>in [mm^-3s^-1] and no 'photons', 'J' or 'W' is used as this is not needed.<br>The source is of amplitude 1 and photons, Joules or Watts simply scale the<br>result.<br><br><br><br>Regards<br><br>Stanislaw Wojtkiewicz, PhD<br><br><br><br>---<br><br>School of Computer Science<br><br>University of Birmingham<br><br>B15 2TT<br><br><br><br>From: <a href="mailto:vasudevans@chemimage.com" target="_blank">vasudevans@chemimage.com</a> <<a href="mailto:vasudevans@chemimage.com" target="_blank">vasudevans@chemimage.com</a>> <br>Sent: 02 June 2020 19:14<br>To: <a href="mailto:nirfast@public.kitware.com" target="_blank">nirfast@public.kitware.com</a><br>Subject: [Nirfast] Regarding the NIRFAST source<br><br><br><br>Hi All,<br><br><br><br>Does anyone know what the units of the source in NIRFAST would be?
