Scientific paper

Fundamental concepts of conventional radiometry and the more important features of radiation emanating from a planar source of any state of coherence are reviewed. It is shown that the radiant intensity obeys in all circumstances the usual postulates of conventional radiometry, while the radiance and the radiant emittance can no longer be considered as measurable quantities for radiation from partially coherent sources; the primary measurable quantity associated with radiation from such sources is the angular distribution of the radiant intensity. Various source models are discussed, including the quasi-homogeneous source which can be used in many cases to represent true natural sources.
