Hemi-ellipsoidal mirror infrared reflectometer: development and operation.
The development and testing of an ir hemi-ellipsoidal mirror reflectometer (HEMR), operational over a wavelength interval of 2-34 microm, are described. This optical system measures the hemispherical-directional reflectance of room temperature samples relative to a specular gold-coated surface. For a source and sample area commensurate with detectable energy requirements, it is shown experimentally that the HEMR is functional with very tolerable errors. Finally, the hemispherical-directional reflectance of test samples, e.g., black paints, gold diffuser, sulfur, cesium iodide, and others, is presented for wavelengths from 2 microm to 34 microm.
