About: Noise-equivalent flux density

An Entity of Type: Abstraction100002137, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In optics the noise-equivalent flux density (NEFD) or noise-equivalent irradiance (NEI) of a system is the level of flux density required to be equivalent to the noise present in the system. It is a measure used by astronomers in determining the accuracy of observations. The NEFD can be related to a light detector's noise-equivalent power for a collection area A and a photon bandwidth by: , where a factor (often 2, in the case of switching between measuring a source and measuring off-source) accounts for the photon statistics for the mode of operation.
