Abstract
A near-Lambertian diffuser for the infrared wavelength of 10.6 µm that operates in both the transmission mode and the reflection mode has
been made. The diffuser is a porous sodium chloride window with the physical
advantages and disadvantages of sodium chloride as an optical material. It is
simple to manufacture because of the water solubility of the salt. The
bidirectional scattering distribution function is nearly flat for all
scattering and incidence angles. In addition, the diffuser effectively
depolarizes the scattered radiation.
