02060 IUPAC Gold Book - emission spectrum 10.1351/goldbook.E02060 E02060 current 1 Plot of the emitted spectral radiant power (spectral radiant exitance) or of the emitted spectral photon irradiance (spectral photon exitance) against a quantity related to photon energy, such as frequency, \(\nu \), wavenumber, \(\sigma \), or wavelength, \(\lambda \). When corrected for wavelength-dependent variations in the equipment response, it is called a corrected emission spectrum. corrected emission spectrum https://goldbook.iupac.org//terms/view/C01343 spectral photon irradiance (spectral photon exitance) https://goldbook.iupac.org//terms/view/S05821 spectral radiant power (spectral radiant exitance) https://goldbook.iupac.org//terms/view/S05828 wavelength https://goldbook.iupac.org//terms/view/W06659 PAC, 1996, 68, 2223.
