function [photonAbsorptionRate] =...
PhotonAbsorptionRate (irradianceInQuanta, irradianceS, absorptanceSpectra, absorptanceSpectraS, collectingDiameter)
% [photonAbsorptionRate] =...
% PhotonAbsorptionRate (irradianceInQuanta, irradianceS, absorptanceSpectra, absorptanceSpectraS, collectingDiameter)
%
% Compute photons being absorbed per photoreceptor per sec, given the spectrum incident on the
% photoreceptor array. We typically take the collecting area of a photoreceptor to be the inner segement
% diameter.
%
% Spatial units for this routine are um, which are convenient for photoreceptor calculations. Be sure
% to convert your incident spectrum to these units. The retinal irradiance is passed in quantal units. Note
% that routines EnergyToQuanta and QuantaToEnergy are available for your converting pleasure.
%
% Can handle multiple photoreceptor types. Put each absopbtance spectrum in a row of matrix
% absorptanceSpectra, put corresponding collecting diameters in column vector collectingDiameter.
%
% Units:
% photonAbsorptionRate: quanta/sec/photorecptor
% irradianceInQuanta: quanta/um^2-sec-wlinterval
% absorptanceSpectra: probability an incident quantum will be absorbed.
% collectingDiameter (um^2)
%
% 05/06/03 lyin Wrote it
% 06/12/03 lyin Change the way variable being passed.
% 06/26/03 dhb Change computation of area to pi*r^2 rather than pi*d^2!
% 06/26/03 dhb Change to expect absorptanceSpectra and collectingDiameter in rows.
% 7/08/03 dhb Cosmetic.
% 7/09/03 dhb Take input in quantal units.
% Convert the wavelength representation of irradianceInQuanta into
% that of the photoreceptor absorptance spectra
irradianceInQuanta = SplineSpd(irradianceS, irradianceInQuanta, absorptanceSpectraS);
% Compute absorptions per unit area for each passed photoreceptor (quanta/sec-um^2).
photonAbsorptionRatePerArea = (absorptanceSpectra * irradianceInQuanta);
% Calculate the photon collecting area of each type of photoreceptors
collectingArea = pi * (collectingDiameter/2).^2;
% Real numbers of photons absorbed for each photoreceptors (quanta/sec)
photonAbsorptionRate = photonAbsorptionRatePerArea .* collectingArea;
