fluence rate, \(E_{\unicode{x26ac}}\)

Also contains definitions of: radiant energy fluence rate, spherical irradiance
https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.FT07376
Total radiant power, P, incident from all directions onto a small sphere divided by the cross-sectional area of that sphere. SI unit is W m-2.
Notes:
  1. Mathematical definition: Eo = dP/dS = dHo/dt. If the @R05046@ is constant over the area S, Eo = P/S. Equivalent definition: Eo = ∫ 4.π.L ⁢dΩ, with Ω the solid @A00346@ of each beam passing through the given point on the surface and L the @R05037@ of the beam at that point.
  2. Fluence rate is identical to spherical irradiance and reduces to @I03254@, E, for a parallel and perpendicularly incident beam not scattered or reflected by the target or its surroundings.
