I am trying to use the bear Lambert law for fluorescence spec of my sample. in the equation I is the intensity of excitation light, I do not know how to find the value of I from my data. Anybody have idea?
Beer Lambert Law is not for fluorescence intensity measurement, Fluorescence intensity usually defined in Arbitrary Unit (A.U.) a Procedure Defined Unit (PDU). The general equation for the measurement of intensity could be like this:
Constant : a constant defined by the maker of spectrometer or by anyone making the spectrometer
Em : Emission intensity measured by PMT (or other sensor)
Ex : Excitation intensity measured by photodiode (or other sensor)
of course Em and Ex will be affected by noise
to obtain more global unit, one of the way is by using intensity calibration such as conversion to Raman Unit (R.U.) as explained in the following paper:
