The Science of Color, the Emission Spectra of the Elements and Some Lamp Engineering Applications

[Ioannis]

First, please excuse the crosspost, but I believe many parties could
be interested in this.

For those interested in lighting engineering, architecture, lamps,
color and spectroscopy: In this
project I use the spectral distribution data of the elements from
NIST, I
simulate the emission spectra of some typical lamps and finally derive
several
interesting conclusions about some lighting engineering applications
which use
these lamps. The conclusions are reached entirely theoretically and in
general
comply with commercial/consumer trends. All the schematics and
diagrams
(including the spectra themselves) are generated automatically by
Maple.

I have also simulated all the known emission spectra of the elements
and have
calculated the corresponding Photoshop RGB hues, which I display on
the middle
column in the tables.

Beware that the page is large. Total load, html and graphics: 3.5MB.
If you are
on a dialup connection it will take a long time to load. Also, as
corrections
and additions come in, I will be updating it, so keep a lookout on the
date on
top.

Fancy meeting you here, Gallidakis,

How y'all been? How's Athens. I am reading you in the alt. architecture
newsgroup. Re: full spectrum (one hope) whatever, heavy download, why
not put the stuff up in low graphics form (perhaps click on graphics) so
people can read the pages without the download headache.

Thank you! Very nice stuff. It's out of my field, but I'm going to enjoy
learning from it.

Well done! Thanks for providing all that disparate information in a
convenient, unified, coherent website.
