FIGURE 14-5 Annual mean radiation measured by satellite in 1988 at the top of the atmosphere as a function of latitude for incoming absorbed short-wavelength radiation and emitted outgoing long-wavelength radiation (adapted from Trenberth and Solomon, 1994). 

These weaker bands can have significant effects on the calculated outgoing infrared radiation. For example, Ho et al. (1998) show that much of the reported discrepancy between modeled outgoing long-wavelength radiation and satellite measurements can be attributed to not including weaker absorption bands due to C02 at 4.3 /xrn and 03 at 14 pm and the weaker O, lines located far from the center of the strong 9.6-pm band. 

Most c/s-azoalkanes do this on heating, or on irradiation with shorter-wavelength radiation, and photolysis of azoalkanes provides a convenient source of certain radicals the photochemical process can be more readily controlled than the thermal reaction. Radicals produced in this way may be employed as initiators for the polymerization of alkenes. and a widely used compound for this purpose is azobisisobutyronitrile (ABIN, 5.20). 

A hybrid detector responsive to visible wavelength radiation and also to at least two different wavelengths of infrared radiation is presented in US-A-5373182. 

A large surface has a = 0.6 for long-wavelength radiation and a = 0.95 for solar radiation. Calculate the radiation equilibrium temperature of the surface if its back side is insulated and top side is exposed to a solar radiation flux of 950 W/m2 and an environment at 300 K with h = 12 W/m2 °C. 

These processes have poor quantum yields. As in photoisomerisation processes, the reactions are generally driven only by short-wavelength radiation, and cannot efficiently convert AMI solar radiation. 

This practice describes the outdoor-accelerated-exposure testing of plastics and plastic-made products using Fresnel reflecting concentrator. The latter uses the sun as a source of UV and longer wavelength radiation and involves a system of plane mirrors focused on an air-cooled target board on which the test specimens are mounted. The three basic exposure methods are as follows ... 

In the shortened notation (ooe, eoe,. .. ). the frequencies satisfy the condition ordinary beam, or o-beam is the beam with its polarization normal to the principal plane of the crystal, i. e. the plane containing the wave vector k and the crystallophysical axis Z (or the optical axis, for uniaxial crystals). The extraordinary beam, or e-beam is the beam with its polarization in the principal plane. The third-order term is responsible for the optical Ken-effect. 

The fabrication of 3D photonic crystals for optical wavelengths is stiU a formidable technological problem, since their structure must have mesoscopic features (comparable to the operating wavelength radiation), and their fabrication accuracy must be at least an order of magnitude better. A number of methods have been proposed for their fabrication [289]. The problem is much simpler with 2D structures where it requires submicrometer photolithography, while in the case of ID crystals it reduces to conventional thin film technologies. 

Substrates and films may be bombarded by short-wavelength radiation and high energy particles that are detrimental to their performance.
