Abstract The conservation law of radiance as a suitable tool for investigation of radiation transfer processes between two systems is treated. Original proofs of this law are given and its deep thermodynamical foundation is pointed out. Finally, applications to general problems of power coupling and particularly to the radiation transfer from incoherent sources (LED) into multimode optical fibres are carried out.
