螢光燈管照明單位與光量子單位換算因數之探討

Conversion Factors between Photometric and Quantum Units for Tubular Fluorescent Lamps

園藝栽培常會使用到人工光源，在組織培養室與溫室的發芽室中以螢光燈管為最普及。燈管所提供的光量用在室內照明與作物栽培有不同的適用單位，室內照明使用照度單位，作物栽培與光合作用相關則應使用光量子單位，另外為探討所涉及的能量問題亦可採用輻射單位。本研究旨在首先收集國內市面上有售之螢光燈管，其次量測其光譜，最後求出各燈管在三種不同單位之間的換算因數。

Artificial lighting in Horticulture is quite popular. Tubular fluorescent lamp is the most frequently used light source in tissue culture laboratories and the growth rooms of a greenhouse (for germinating large quantities of seeds). In terms of light level, different units are suitabale for different purposes. The photometric unit is for illumination and quantum unit is for photosynthesis related studies. There is also the radiometric unit which deals with the question of energy. The purposes of this study are first to collect commercially available tubular fluorescent lamps, then measure their spectral distributions and, lastly, derive lamp specific conversion factors among radiometric, photometric and quantum units.
