Luminance is a photometric measure of the luminous intensity per unit area of light travelling in a given direction. It describes the amount of light that passes through or is emitted from a particular area, and falls within a given solid angle. The SI unit for luminance is candela per square metre (cd/m2). Photo-Luminance is a technique through which we can find energy band gap Eg of a material generally a semiconductor. The sample is exposed to light and the photons emitted by the sample give the required information.
