Meric meric@feynman.arc.nasa.gov ============================================================================ Here's a table of the solar spectrum from 1000 to 12000 Angstroms (100 to 1200 nanometers). I hope that goes far enough into the IR for you. The columns are wavelength (in Angstroms), photon flux (in photons/second/cm^2/Angstrom), and energy flux (in Watts/m^2/Angstrom). Sorry, the fluxes aren't normalized, they're actual fluxes (above the atmosphere). Hope this helps, Howard Bushouse Space Telescope Science Institute *********************** CUT HERE ******************************** 1000. 357000000. 7.091752E-6 1100. 357000000. 6.447047E-6 1200. 3.560000E9 5.893239E-5 1300. 357000000. 5.455194E-6 1400. 445000000. 6.314185E-6 1500. 1.150000E9 1.522972E-5 1600. 3.020000E9 3.749491E-5 1700. 9.920000E9 1.159173E-4 1800. 2.490000E10 2.747971E-4 1900. 5.140000E10 5.373965E-4 2000. 1.500000E11 0.001489864 2100. 4.980000E11 0.004710808 2200. 6.770000E11 0.006112956 2300. 5.650000E11 0.004879844 2400. 8.880000E11 0.007349995 2500. 1.100000E12 0.008740535 2600. 3.610000E12 0.02758158 2700. 2.700000E12 0.01986485 2800. 4.210000E12 0.02986822 2900. 9.270000E12 0.06349903 3000. 1.040000E13 0.06886481 3100. 1.190000E13 0.0762554 3200. 1.430000E13 0.08877106 3300. 1.490000E13 0.08969281 3400. 1.610000E13 0.09406591 3500. 1.770000E13 0.1004594 3600. 2.030000E13 0.1120157 3700. 2.080000E13 0.1116727 3800. 1.920000E13 0.1003698 3900. 2.190000E13 0.1115488 4000. 3.410000E13 0.1693479 4100. 3.650000E13 0.1768456 4200. 3.410000E13 0.1612837 4300. 3.490000E13 0.1612287 4400. 4.230000E13 0.1909734 4500. 4.710000E13 0.2079188 4600. 4.800000E13 0.2072854 4700. 4.950000E13 0.2092149 4800. 4.820000E13 0.1994762 4900. 4.950000E13 0.2006755 5000. 4.920000E13 0.1954701 5100. 4.750000E13 0.1850158 5200. 4.950000E13 0.1890981 5300. 5.130000E13 0.1922768 5400. 5.170000E13 0.1901876 5500. 5.230000E13 0.1888967 5600. 5.290000E13 0.1876519 5700. 5.370000E13 0.1871478 5800. 5.380000E13 0.1842636 5900. 5.410000E13 0.1821506 6000. 5.390000E13 0.1784526 6100. 5.230000E13 0.1703167 6200. 5.270000E13 0.1688512 6300. 5.260000E13 0.1658557 6400. 5.190000E13 0.1610915 6500. 4.990000E13 0.1525009 6600. 5.210000E13 0.1568119 6700. 5.170000E13 0.1532855 6800. 5.120000E13 0.1495706 6900. 5.090000E13 0.1465393 7000. 5.010000E13 0.1421756 7100. 4.930000E13 0.1379348 7200. 4.910000E13 0.1354673 7300. 4.870000E13 0.132523 7400. 4.790000E13 0.1285846 7500. 4.810000E13 0.1273999 7600. 4.750000E13 0.1241553 7700. 4.700000E13 0.121253 7800. 4.670000E13 0.1189344 7900. 4.600000E13 0.1156688 8000. 4.550000E13 0.1129813 8100. 4.510000E13 0.1106055 8200. 4.450000E13 0.1078032 8300. 4.380000E13 0.104829 8400. 4.340000E13 0.1026351 8500. 4.240000E13 0.09909055 8600. 4.210000E13 0.09724537 8700. 4.200000E13 0.09589928 8800. 4.140000E13 0.09345509 8900. 4.140000E13 0.09240504 9000. 4.040000E13 0.08917111 9100. 4.060000E13 0.08862779 9200. 3.960000E13 0.08550523 9300. 3.980000E13 0.08501302 9400. 3.910000E13 0.08262932 9500. 3.860000E13 0.08071402 9600. 3.830000E13 0.07925248 9700. 3.790000E13 0.07761627 9800. 3.760000E13 0.07621616 9900. 3.730000E13 0.07484434 10000. 3.640000E13 0.07230806 10100. 3.630000E13 0.07139546 10200. 3.600000E13 0.07011124 10300. 3.540000E13 0.06827337 10400. 3.510000E13 0.06704387 10500. 3.470000E13 0.0656486 10600. 3.400000E13 0.06371745 10700. 3.370000E13 0.062565 10800. 3.300000E13 0.06069816 10900. 3.250000E13 0.05923006 11000. 3.280000E13 0.05923337 11100. 3.240000E13 0.05798389 11200. 3.190000E13 0.05657936 11300. 3.160000E13 0.05555126 11400. 3.130000E13 0.05454121 11500. 3.110000E13 0.05372147 11600. 3.050000E13 0.05223086 11700. 3.030000E13 0.05144487 11800. 2.970000E13 0.04999882 11900. 2.950000E13 0.0492448 12000. 2.920000E13 0.0483378
