spectral photon radiance, Lpλ

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.S05822
The photon radiance, Lp, at wavelength per unit wavelength interval. The SI unit is s−1 m−3 sr−1, but a commonly used unit is s−1 m−2 sr−1 nm−1. Alternatively, the term can be used with the amount of photons (mol or its equivalent einstein) the SI unit then being mols−1m−3sr−1 and the common unit mols−1m−2sr−1nm−1.
