Hey,my name is miaoyu, I am a student,I have read your article about "spectral
rendering with pov-ray".And I also have visited  your website
http://lilysoft.org. How beautiful your works are! But I want to beg a help from
you. I am studying pov to do my graduation project.I have confronted some
confusions,please give me a help,expecting your replying!Greate gratitudes!
My questions:
1: The value of solar irradiance in 817nm is 1.08279W/(m2*nm).How can I set
related statements in pov?
2:How can I make the value of each pixel of final image be radiance? not color.

My codes are as bolow:
#version 3.7;
global_settings{ assumed_gamma 1.0 }  #include "spectral.inc" #declare
SpectralWavelength = 817nm;
camera
{
angle  7.54371
location <camera_x,camera_y,camera_z >
look_at <0,0,0>
rotate <0,-31,0>
right x
up y
}
light_source {<sun_x,sun_y,sun_z>
            color rgb  1.08279 }

#declare geom_file_name = "pov-xyz.txt";
#declare spec_file_name = "pov-ref.txt";
#declare n=o;
#fopen   Input_geom_file geom_file_name read
#fopen   Input_spec_file spec_file_name read
#while(defined(Input_geom_file Input_spec_file))
    #read(Input_geom_file,x1,y1,z1)
    #read(Input_spec_file,ref)
        sphere
        {
        <x1-center_x,y1-center_y,z1-center_z>, //sphere location
         1.55     //sphere radius
        finish {specular ref}  //sphere BRDF
        }
    #declare n = n + 1;
#end

Can you help me to check it,Beg a help! Greate gratitudes!
