Abstract: A general formula and some special integral formulas were presented for calculating radiative fluxes incident on a circular plane from a planar multiple point source within a coaxial cylindrical enclosure perpendicular to the source. These formula were obtained for radiation propagating in a homogeneous isotropic medium assuming that the lateral surface of the enclosure completely absorbs the incident radiation. Exemplary results were computed numerically and illustrated with threedimensional surface plots. The formulas presented are suitable for determining fluxes of radiation reaching planar circular detectors, collectors or other planar circular elements from systems of laser diodes, light emitting diodes and fiber lamps within cylindrical enclosures, as well as small biological emitters (bacteria, fungi, yeast, etc.) distributed on planar bases of open nontransparent cylindrical containers. ©2007 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (030.5620) Radiative transfer; (080.2720) Geometrical optics; mathematical models; (120.5240) Photometry; (120.5630) Radiometry; (230.6080) Sources; (350.5610) Radiation

1. Introduction With increased development of solid state lighting there is currently a great deal of interest in the use of laser diodes (LDs) and light emitting diodes (LEDs) to make LD and LED arrays and multi LED lamps. LD and LED arrays have already found numerous laboratorial [1-6], industrial [3, 7], medical [1, 3, 8, 9] and domestic applications [1, 3, 7], while multi LED lamps are used in agriculture [2, 5] medicine [8, 9-11] and as sources of white or colored lights for illumination. In addition, LED lamps are used at present for general illumination, landscape lighting, automotive lighting, and as indicators and portable flashlights [13, 14]. By combining high-power and high-brightness blue, green and red LEDs, LED full-color displays and lamps with high reliability, high durability and low energy consumption are now possible [7, 13-15]. The LED-based displays and lamps effectively replace the traditional bulbs and fluorescent lamps and will probably be the most popular and frequently used sources of light in the near future [7, 12-15]. However, in contrast to traditional extended light sources, LEDs and LDs are in fact multiple point sources even when are positioned at small distance from the irradiated objects. In many applications of electromagnetic and corpuscular radiation it is necessary to calculate the radiative flux (the flux of radiation), or in other words the radiative power (the power of radiation) emitted by a given source and incident on an object of a given geometrical shape. Such calculations are necessary for measuring the fluxes of radiation incident on detectors and/or collectors [16-18] and for designing light sources for medical [8, 9] and agricultural [2, 5] experiments and uses. By using LEDs it is very simple to obtain multiple point sources of various geometrical shapes. However, when the high brightness multi LED sources are used the high power narrow-band radiations from individual or all LEDs may be hazardous to human and animal eyes. To protect humans and animals against ocular hazards the radiative fluxes incident on their eyes must be known [19, 20]. Therefore in a wide variety of practical applications of LD and LED arrays as well as LED lamps mathematical formulas related to various shapes of multiple point sources are indispensable. This paper presents one general and some special mathematical formulas for calculating fluxes of radiation reaching planar circular elements from planar multiple point sources within a coaxial circular enclosure perpendicular to the source plane. These formulas were obtained for radiation propagated in a homogeneous attenuating medium when the lateral surface of the enclosure completely absorbs the incident radiation. The analyzed model of the multiple point source may represent LED and LD arrays, fiber sources within cylindrical enclosures or small biological objects emitting photons enclosed within open cylindrical containers. All presented formulas are directly applicable to planar coaxial circular multiple point source-detector and source-collector systems, for example. 2. Definition of variables and some fundamental expressions The cylindrical coordinate system, 0ρϕz, was used to obtain the mathematical formulas presented in the paper. The geometry of the analyzed optical system is shown schematically in

Fig. 1. Throughout the paper we assume that the multiple point source of the surface, σ, and illuminated circular planar surface, S, are separated by a homogeneous isotropic medium and that the lateral surface of the enclosure completely absorbs the incident radiation so that only the radiation leaving the enclosure through its open end reaches the surface S. The radiative flux, Φσ→S, enclosed within the spectral region between wavelengths λmin and λmax and incident on the surface S from the planar circular coaxial multiple point source of surface σ can be calculated as [17]

The function Φλ, P→S (ρi, φj) in the above equation represents the spectral radiative flux at wavelength λ reaching the plane S from the single point emitter P(ρi, φj) while the symbols Nλ, ρ and N λ, φ denote the number of point emitters radiating at wavelength λ and positioned at radial distances ρi and horizontal angles φj, respectively.

The symbol r denotes the radial distance between the points P( ρi, φj) and P/( ρi, φj, r, ϕ).

The radiative flux Φλ, P→S (ρi, φj) incident on the surface S from the single point emitter P(ρi, φj) is described by

S / represents the surface S or its part limited by the rays passing through the upper edge of the cylindrical enclosure. The symbol αλ, at denotes the coefficient describing the attenuation of the radiation along the ray between P(ρi, φj) and P / (ρi, φj, r, ϕ) usually expressed as [16, 17] α λ ,at = α λ, ab + α λ, sc ,

where αλ, ab and αλ, sc are the absorption and scattering coefficients, respectively. In a homogeneous medium the intensity Iλ, P (ρi, φj, θ, ϕ, H, αλ, at) obeys the Bouguer–Lambert exponential law of intensity attenuation [16] I λ , P / (ρi ,φ j ,θ ,ϕ, H,α λ, at ) = I λ , P (ρi ,φ j ,θ ,ϕ) τ P / (θ , H ,α λ , at ),

which can be calculated similarly to the integral in Eqs. (2.7) from Ref. [21]. This way, for the boundary conditions made by the external contour of the circular surface S with the radius R and by the top circular edge of the cylindrical enclosure with the radius a, as shown in Fig. 1, we obtain a set of seven double-definite integral expressions: Φλ , P →S ( ρi , φ j ) =

Equations (8a)-(8g) represent the general double-integral solution to the spectral radiative flux Φλ, P→S(ρi, φj) reaching the planar circular surface S from a given point emitter P(ρi, φj) within the coaxial cylindrical enclosure perpendicular to the source σ provided that the lateral surface of the enclosure completely absorbs the incident radiation. Putting R = ∞ in Eqs. (8a)(8g) and assuming that the radius a, height h and distance H are not infinite, we obtain Eqs. (8a)-(8d) for calculating the total radiative fluxes, Φλ, σ (ρi, φj), at wavelength λ emitted by any point emitter P(ρi, φj) into the space surrounding the cylindrical enclosure. The solutions represented by Eqs. (8a)-(8g) are appropriate for calculating the flux Φλ, σ→S from Eq. (2) for arbitrary distributed point emitters P(ρi, φj) composing the source σ within the cylindrical enclosure if the attenuation coefficient αλ, at of the homogeneous medium is defined and the radiant intensities Iλ, P (ρi, φj, θ, ϕ) from each point emitter are known. However the radiative fluxes Φλ, P→S(ρi, φj) in Eq. (2) must be calculated at given wavelengths λ from Eqs. (8a)-(8g). Obviously by substituting Eqs. (8a)-(8d) into (2) at R = ∞ and finite a, h and H, we obtain a formula for calculating the radiative flux, Φλ, σ, emitted by the source σ into the space surrounding this source within the enclosure. For many functions Iλ,P (ρi, φj, θ, ϕ) Eqs. (8a)-(8g) can be integrated with respect to the angle ϕ and expressed by single definite integrals. Even though these equations can be expressed by single definite integrals, further computation of the radiative fluxes Φλ, σ→S for #75602 - $15.00 USD

large numbers of emitters P(ρi, φj) composing the source σ from general Eq. (2) may be timeconsuming and impractical. Therefore, it is desirable to look for a simpler analytical solution to the problem outlined above. We obtain such a solution when the emitters P(ρi, φj) are spread uniformly and each of them emits identically angularly distributed radiation. 4. Identically radiating emitters of a uniformly spread multiple point source Equation (2) can also be rewritten as Φλ ,σ →S = N λ ,

is the average radiative flux from all point emitters P(ρi, φj) radiating at wavelength λ. For identically radiating emitters P(ρi, φj) from a uniformly distributed multiple point source we can divide the surface σ into the surface elements π ( ρ i2 − ρ i2−1 ) containing Nλ(ρi) emitters so that

where m is the number of elements Δρi and a is the radius of the source σ or radius of the cylindrical enclosure. Then due to the uniform distribution we have Nλ ( ρi )/ (2π ρi Δρi ) = Nλ ( π a 2 )

and for R > 0 Eq. (12) obtains the following form ⎧ π / 2 sinθ dθ 2π I (θ ,ϕ )dϕ , h = H = 0, ∫ 0 λ, P ⎪ ∫0 = ⎨ ⎪ 0, 0 0, where Φλ, P→S(ρi) is the radiative flux from the point emitter P(ρi) lying at a distance ρi. For extremely small elements Δρi → 0 we obtain m → ∞ so that Eq. (14) becomes 2 a2

Equations (17a)-(17e) can be easily turned into a computer code for calculating the fluxes if the radiant intensity Iλ, P (θ) is defined. Figures 3(a)-3(d) demonstrate four examples of such calculations obtained for the point emitters of the source σ emitting rotationally symmetrical radiation around z-axis and when the radiant intensity is given by the expression Iλ, P (θ) = Iλ, 0 cos2θ. The data plotted in Figs. 3(a) and 3(c) were computed for nonattenuated radiation while the data shown in Figs. 3(b) and 3(d) were calculated for radiation attenuated within a homogeneous isotropic medium.

Fig. 3. The average spectral radiative flux within wavelength interval Δλ = 1 nm obtained for IP (θ1) = I0 cos2θ1 as a function of R and H at a = 5 and αat = 0 (a), as a function of R and H at a = 5 and αat = 0.1 (b), as a function of a and H at R = 5 and αat = 0 (c), and as a function of a and H at R = 5 and αat = 0.1 (d). The data were calculated for the relative units of R, a, H, and αat i.e. if R, a, and H are given in m then αat is expressed in m-1. The radiant intensity was taken as I0 = 1 W⋅sr-1, so the flux is given in W⋅nm-1.

Figures 3(a) and (3c) show that the flux in a non-attenuating medium is always greater at the lower distance H and clearly depends on both radii R and a. The flux shown in Fig. 3(a) increases with increased R and obtains maximal value at a small distance H in the region limited by the relation R > a. In Fig. 3(c) we observe that at a given distance H #75602 - $15.00 USD

the flux monotonically increases with increasing a until a ≤ R. Then the flux monotonically decreases. The flux of the radiation propagated in an attenuated homogeneous medium is dependent on the radii R, a, and distance H, similarly to the flux propagated in an non-attenuating medium. However, it is clearly seen that the fluxes in Figs. 3(b) and 3(d) are lower in comparison to those presented in Figs. 3(a) and 3(c) and this effect is due to the attenuation phenomena described by Eq. (6). The computer simulated surface-plots for the radiant intensity function Iλ, P (θ) = Iλ, 0 cosθ were similar to the plots in Figs. 3(a)-3(d) although the fluxes were varied within the wider ranges of the spectral power obtaining maximal values of 1.200 W nm-1 and 0.657 W nm-1 at Iλ, 0 = 1 W sr-1 within wavelength interval Δλ = 1 nm in a non-attenuating and attenuating medium respectively. Therefore from these data, it is easy to deduce that the fluxes reaching the surface S clearly depend on the angular distribution of the emitted radiation. Some representative data of the absolute radiative fluxes computed for Iλ, P (θ) = Iλ, 0 cos2θ and Iλ, P (θ) = Iλ, 0 cosθ with accuracy to twelve decimal places when the radii R and a, and height H were expressed in m and when the attenuation coefficient αat was expressed in m-1 are given in the fifth and sixth column of Table 1 in Appendix A. All these data were computed from Eqs. (17a)-(17e) for the radiant intensity Iλ, 0 = 1 W⋅sr-1. Therefore one can use the data from Table 1 for checking one’s own calculations from the formulas presented above. 4.2 Isotropic radiation Sometime the angular distribution of radiation emitted by point emitters is isotropic or is unknown and considered isotropic. In this case the intensity Iλ, P (θ) does not depend on the angle θ so that Iλ, P (θ) = Iλ, 0 and Eqs. (17a)-(17e) become ⎧ 2π I λ,0 , h = H = 0, ⎪ = ⎨ 0, 0 [W⋅nm ]
