A unit of illuminance in the CGS system, it is a non-SI unit. Its symbol is ph. It is the illuminance when a luminous flux of 1 lumen uniformly illuminates an area of ​​1 square centimeter. 1ph = 10 4 lx (lux). It was legally adopted in France in 1919, and the name was given two years later. This unit is too large for practical use, so milliphotos are usually used.

CGS単位系の照度の単位で、非SI単位である。記号はph。1ルーメンの光束をもって1平方センチメートルの面を一様に照らす場合の照度をいう。1ph=104lx(ルクス)。1919年フランスで法定され、2年後にこの名がついた。この単位は実用としては大きすぎるので、普通はミリフォトが用いられる。フォト秒は露光量のCGS単位で、国際照明委員会で承認されている。
