Directional–hemispherical reflectance for Spectralon by integration of its bidirectional reflectance

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The directional–hemispherical reflectance is obtained for Spectralon, the material chosen for onboard radiometric calibration of the multiangle imaging spectroradiometer, at laser wavelengths of 442, 632.8, and 859.9 nm. With p- and s-polarized incident light and for an angle of incidence of 45°, the bidirectional reflectance distribution function was measured over a polar angle range of 1–85° and a range of azimuthal angles of 0–180° in 10° increments. The resultant directional–hemispherical reflectance is found by integration to be 1.00 ± 0.01 at 442 nm, 0.953 ± 0.01 at 632.8 nm, and 0.956 ± 0.01 at 859.9 nm. The experimental methodology and the data analysis are presented together with a full discussion of the primary experimental errors.
