In radiometry, irradiance is the radiant flux (power) received by a surface per unit area. The SI unit of irradiance is the watt per square metre (W/m²). The CGS unit erg per square centimetre per second (erg·cm⁻²·s⁻¹) is often used in astronomy. Irradiance is often called intensity because it has the same physical dimensions, but this term is avoided in radiometry where such usage leads to confusion with radiant intensity.

Spectral irradiance is the irradiance of a surface per unit frequency or wavelength, depending on whether the spectrum is taken as a function of frequency or of wavelength. The two forms have different dimensions: spectral irradiance of a frequency spectrum is measured in watts per square metre per hertz (W·m⁻²·Hz⁻¹), while spectral irradiance of a wavelength spectrum is measured in watts per square metre per metre (W·m⁻³), or more commonly watts per square metre per nanometre (W·m⁻²·nm⁻¹).

 Mathematical definitions

 Irradiance

Irradiance of a surface, denoted E_e ("e" for "energetic", to avoid confusion with photometric quantities), is defined as

${\displaystyle{\displaystyle E_{\mathrm{e}}={\frac{\partial\Phi_{\mathrm{e}}}{\partial A}},}}$

where

• ∂ is the partial derivative symbol;
• Φ_e is the radiant flux received;
• A is the area.

If we want to talk about the radiant flux emitted by a surface, we speak of radiant exitance.

 Spectral irradiance

Spectral irradiance in frequency of a surface, denoted E_e,ν, is defined as

${\displaystyle{\displaystyle E_{\mathrm{e},\nu}={\frac{\partial E_{\mathrm{e}}}{\partial\nu}},}}$

where ν is the frequency.

Spectral irradiance in wavelength of a surface, denoted E_e,λ, is defined as

${\displaystyle{\displaystyle E_{\mathrm{e},\lambda}={\frac{\partial E_{\mathrm{e}}}{\partial\lambda}},}}$

where λ is the wavelength.

 الخصائص

Irradiance of a surface is also, according to the definition of radiant flux, equal to the time-average of the component of the Poynting vector perpendicular to the surface:

${\displaystyle{\displaystyle E_{\mathrm{e}}=\langle|\mathbf{S}|\rangle\cos\alpha,}}$

where

• < • > is the time-average;
• S is the Poynting vector;
• α is the angle between a unit vector normal to the surface and S.
