About Watt per Steradian Square Centimeter (W/(sr·cm²))
Radiance equal to 10,000 W/(sr·m²), derived from 1 W/(sr·10⁻⁴ m²).
History: Commonly used in legacy aerospace sensor specifications and CGS-derived infrared radiometry.
Common Uses: Infrared missile seeker sensitivity specs, laser target designator surface brightness.
About Watt per Steradian Square Meter (W/(sr·m²))
The SI coherent derived unit of radiance, defined as radiant power per unit solid angle per unit projected surface area (1 W/(sr·m²)). The radiometric counterpart to luminance (cd/m²).
History: Fundamental quantity in radiometry and remote sensing; invariant along an optical path through lossless optical systems (conservation of etendue).
Common Uses: Thermal imaging camera calibration, satellite Earth observation sensors, blackbody radiation spectrum calculations.
