Infrared diffuser for application in transmission and reflection at 10.6 µm

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

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.
