Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 DEF
A filter that reversibly changes its luminous transmittance depending upon the intensity and wavelength of the radiation falling upon it. 1, record 2, English, - photochromic%20sunglare%20filter
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
This change is not instantaneous, but is a function of temperature-dependent and material-dependent time constants. The luminous transmittance of the filter therefore adjusts itself within certain limits to the ambient radiant flux. 1, record 2, English, - photochromic%20sunglare%20filter

Filtre dont le facteur de transmission dans le visible varie de manière réversible selon l'éclairement énergétique et la longueur d'onde du rayonnement auquel il est exposé. 1, record 2, French, - filtre%20photochromique%20de%20protection%20solaire
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Cette variation n'est pas instantanée, mais dépend d'une constante de temps fonction de la température et du matériau. Ainsi, le facteur de transmission dans le visible du filtre s'ajuste-t-il, dans une certaine limite, au flux énergétique ambiant. 1, record 2, French, - filtre%20photochromique%20de%20protection%20solaire
