Abstract
During the last two decades several attempts have been made to formulate the foundations of radiometry. Numbers of definitions of radiance (spectral intensity) have been proposed in terms of various kinds of second-order field correlation function. It has been shown that even although none of these definitions satisfies all the conditions that traditional radiometry requires, most of them do agree with traditional radiometry in the small-wavelength limit.
