34 New Color: OLLI Purple Device mixes 402nm laser + 630nm LED Diffuser is frosted aluminum foil For people with artificial lenses, 402nm is very bright 2/22/2018 World of Color 5 34

35 Photometry and Colorimetry: Measuring Human Color Perception Essential idea: Ask observer to compare two patches of light Are they distinguishable? Essential Tool: Monochromator Isolates single wavelength Side Flicker by Side Monochromator Flicker λ 500 B 10 (microwatts) (nanometers) 2/22/2018 World of Color 5 35

36 How Can We Measure Spectral Luminosity Curve? 2/22/2018 World of Color 5 36

37 Determine Eye Spectral Luminosity Curve Monochromator Monochromator Reference Light: Stays fixed λ 500 B 10 λ 650 B 10 Variable Light Are the patches equal in brightness? No. I ll turn up the intensity 2/22/2018 World of Color 5 37

38 Observer Adjusts Brightness of Second Light Monochromator Monochromator Reference Light: Stays fixed λ 500 B 10 λ 650 B 190 Variable Light Now are the patches equal in brightness? Well, maybe. I can t tell. It s Pears and Apples! How can we sidestep this problem? One way is to use Rod vision (Scotopic) 2/22/2018 World of Color 5 38

39 Filters reduce intensity 10,000x Observer Dark Adapts for 1 hour Reference Light: Stays fixed Monochromator λ 500 B 10 Monochromator λ 650 B Variable Light Neutral Density Filter (0.01% T) 2/22/2018 World of Color 5 39

40 Filters reduce intensity 10,000x Observer Dark Adapts for 1 hour Reference Light: Stays fixed Monochromator λ 500 B 10 Monochromator λ 650 B 190 Variable Light Neutral Density Filter (0.01% T) What your rods see 2/22/2018 World of Color 5 40

41 Filters reduce intensity 10,000x Observer Dark Adapts for 1 hour Reference Light: Stays fixed Monochromator λ 500 B 10 Monochromator λ 650 B 190 Variable Light Neutral Density Filter (0.01% T) Do the patches match? No, the variable is a little too dim. I ll turn it up to 200 μwatts. 2/22/2018 World of Color 5 41

42 Filters reduce intensity 10,000x Observer Dark Adapts for 1 hour Reference Light: Stays fixed Monochromator λ 500 B 10 Monochromator λ 650 B Variable Light Neutral Density Filter (0.01% T) Now are the patches equal in brightness? No, the variable is a little too dim. I ll Yes, turn they it up match! to 200 μwatts. 2/22/2018 World of Color 5 42

43 Filters reduce intensity 10,000x Observer Dark Adapts for 1 hour Reference Light: Stays fixed Neutral Density Filter (0.01% T) Monochromator λ 500 B 10 Monochromator λ 650 B Variable Light Conclusion: Since it took 200μW of red 650nm light to match just 10μW of cyan 500nm light Our Rods must be only 1/20 th (5%) as sensitive at 650nm as at 500nm Now are the patches equal in brightness? No, the variable is a little too dim. I ll Yes, turn they it up match! to 200 μwatts. 2/22/2018 World of Color 5 43

44 And That s How We Measure the Scotopic Standard Luminosity Curve Rods 2/22/2018 World of Color 5 44

45 And That s How We Measure the Scotopic Standard Luminosity Curve Rods Red Light OK [does not affect rods or dark adaptation] 2/22/2018 World of Color 5 45

46 How Can We Obtain the Photopic Curve? Answer: The Flicker Photometer Reference Light: Stays fixed Monochromator λ 550 B 10 Monochromator λ 650 B 190 Variable Light Chopper Wheel Alternates Colors Can you see any Color Flicker?^ Yes. Red alternates with green. Better speed up the chopper. 2/22/2018 World of Color 5 46

47 How Can We Obtain the Photopic Curve? Answer: The Flicker Photometer Reference Light: Stays fixed Monochromator λ 550 B 10 Monochromator λ 650 B 190 Variable Light Chopper Wheel Alternates Colors Can you see any Flicker? Flicker ~ 20 Hz Yes, intensity flickers rapidly. I ll adjust the Variable Intensity.^ 2/22/2018 World of Color 5 47

48 How Can We Obtain the Photopic Curve? Answer: The Flicker Photometer Reference Light: Stays fixed Chopper Wheel Alternates Colors Monochromator λ 550 B 10 Monochromator λ 650 B Variable Light Conclusion: Since it took 100μW of red 650nm light to match 10μW of green 550nm light Our Photopic eye must be only 1/10 th (10%) as sensitive at 650nm as at 550nm Flicker ~ 20 Hz Now can you see any Flicker? No. We have a Luminosity Match.^ 2/22/2018 World of Color 5 48
