A new source-based radiometry beamline was recently constructed at the Synchrotron Ultraviolet Radiation Facility (SURF III). The goal of this beamline is to establish a national source standard with a wide spectral range from the far ultraviolet to the infrared by using the calculability of SURF III. The new beamline is a straight-through white-light beamline with few, if any, optical componen...

Long-term industrial exposure to low levels of infrared radiation has for many years been associated with the development of cataracts; the injury mechanism is widely held to be thermal. A finite element model of the human eye is employed to calculate the temperature rises experienced by the intraocular media when exposed to infrared radiation. The model is used to calculate transient and stead...
