TIE-35: Transmittance of Optical Glass
DATE October 2005 . PAGE 1/12 TIE-35: Transmittance of optical glass 0. Introduction Optical glasses are optimized to provide excellent transmittance throughout the total visible range from 400 to 800 nm. Usually the transmittance range spreads also into the near UV and IR regions. As a general trend lowest refractive index glasses show high transmittance far down to short wavelengths in the UV. Going to higher index glasses the UV absorption edge moves closer to the visible range. For highest index glass and larger thickness the absorption edge already reaches into the visible range. This UV-edge shift with increasing refractive index is explained by the general theory of absorbing dielectric media. So it may not be overcome in general. However, due to improved melting technology high refractive index glasses are offered nowadays with better blue-violet transmittance than in the past. And for special applications where best transmittance is required SCHOTT offers improved quality grades like for SF57 the grade SF57 HHT. The aim of this technical information is to give the optical designer a deeper understanding on the transmittance properties of optical glass. 1. Theoretical background A light beam with the intensity I0 falls onto a glass plate having a thickness d (figure 1-1). At the entrance surface part of the beam is reflected. Therefore after that the intensity of the beam is Ii0=I0(1-r) with r being the reflectivity. Inside the glass the light beam is attenuated according to the exponential function. At the exit surface the beam intensity is I i = I i0 exp(-kd) [1.1] where k is the absorption constant. -
Reflectance and Transmittance Sphere
Reflectance and Transmittance Sphere Spectral Evolution four inch portable reflectance/ transmittance sphere is ideal for measuring vegetation physiological states SPECTRAL EVOLUTION offers a portable, compact four inch reflectance/transmittance (R/T) integrating sphere for measuring the reflectance and transmittance of vegetation. The 4 inch R/T sphere is lightweight and portable so you can take it into the field for in situ meas- urements, delivered with a stand as well as a ¼-20 mount for use with tripods. When used with a SPECTRAL EVOLUTION spectrometer or spectroradiometer such as the PSR+, RS-3500, RS- 5400, SR-6500 or RS-8800, it delivers detailed information for measurements of transmittance and reflectance modes. Two varying light intensity levels (High and Low) allow for a broader range of samples to be measured. Light reflected or transmitted from a sample in a sphere is integrated over a full hemisphere, with measurements insensitive to sample anisotropic directional reflectance (transmittance). This provides repeatable measurements of a variety of samples. The 4 inch portable R/T sphere can be used in vegetation studies such as, deriving absorbance characteristics, and estimating the leaf area index (LAI) from radiation reflected from a canopy surface. The sphere allows researchers to limit destructive sampling and provides timely data acquisition of key material samples. The R/T sphere allows you to collect all diffuse light reflected from a sample – measuring total hemispherical reflectance. You can measure reflectance and transmittance, and calculate absorption. You can select the bulb inten- sity level that suits your sample. A white reference is provided for both reflectance and transmittance measurements. -
Black Body Radiation and Radiometric Parameters
Black Body Radiation and Radiometric Parameters: All materials absorb and emit radiation to some extent. A blackbody is an idealization of how materials emit and absorb radiation. It can be used as a reference for real source properties. An ideal blackbody absorbs all incident radiation and does not reflect. This is true at all wavelengths and angles of incidence. Thermodynamic principals dictates that the BB must also radiate at all ’s and angles. The basic properties of a BB can be summarized as: 1. Perfect absorber/emitter at all ’s and angles of emission/incidence. Cavity BB 2. The total radiant energy emitted is only a function of the BB temperature. 3. Emits the maximum possible radiant energy from a body at a given temperature. 4. The BB radiation field does not depend on the shape of the cavity. The radiation field must be homogeneous and isotropic. T If the radiation going from a BB of one shape to another (both at the same T) were different it would cause a cooling or heating of one or the other cavity. This would violate the 1st Law of Thermodynamics. T T A B Radiometric Parameters: 1.

Both are built based on the integrating sphere method with a Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer operating in a vacuum. The third Taylor method is dedicated to the reflectometer for absolute reflectance, by which absolute spectral diffuse reflectance scales of homemade reference plates are realized. With the reflectometer for relative reflectance, we achieved spectral diffuse reflectance scales of various samples including concrete, polystyrene, and salt plates by comparing against the reference standards. We conducted ray-tracing simulations to quantify systematic uncertainties and evaluated the overall standard uncertainty to be 2.18% (k = 1) and 2.99% (k = 1) for the absolute and relative reflectance measurements, respectively.

Analyzing Reflectance Data for Various Black Paints and Coatings
Analyzing Reflectance Data for Various Black Paints and Coatings Mimi Huynh US Army NVESD UNITED STATES OF AMERICA [email protected] ABSTRACT The US Army NVESD has previously measured the reflectance of a number of different levels of black paints and coatings using various laboratory and field instruments including the SOC-100 hemispherical directional reflectometer (2.0 – 25 µm) and the Perkin Elmer Lambda 1050 (0.39 – 2.5 µm). The measurements include off-the-shelf paint to custom paints and coatings. In this talk, a number of black paints and coatings will be presented along with their reflectivity data, cost per weight analysis, and potential applications. 1.0 OVERVIEW Black paints and coatings find an important role in hyperspectral imaging from the sensor side to the applications side. Black surfaces can enhance sensor performance and calibration performance. On the sensor side, black paints and coatings can be found in the optical coatings, mechanical and enclosure coating. Black paints and coating can be used inside the sensor to block or absorb stray light, preventing it from getting to the detector and affecting the imagery. Stray light can affect the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) as well introduce unwanted photons at certain wavelengths. Black paints or coatings can also be applied to a baffle or area around the sensor in laboratory calibration with a known light source. This is to ensure that no stray light enter the measurement and calculations. In application, black paints and coatings can be applied to calibration targets from the reflectance bands (VIS- SWIR) and also in the thermal bands (MWIR-LWIR). -
Reflectance IR Spectroscopy, Khoshhesab
11 Reflectance IR Spectroscopy Zahra Monsef Khoshhesab Payame Noor University Department of Chemistry Iran 1. Introduction Infrared spectroscopy is study of the interaction of radiation with molecular vibrations which can be used for a wide range of sample types either in bulk or in microscopic amounts over a wide range of temperatures and physical states. As was discussed in the previous chapters, an infrared spectrum is commonly obtained by passing infrared radiation through a sample and determining what fraction of the incident radiation is absorbed at a particular energy (the energy at which any peak in an absorption spectrum appears corresponds to the frequency of a vibration of a part of a sample molecule). Aside from the conventional IR spectroscopy of measuring light transmitted from the sample, the reflection IR spectroscopy was developed using combination of IR spectroscopy with reflection theories. In the reflection spectroscopy techniques, the absorption properties of a sample can be extracted from the reflected light. Reflectance techniques may be used for samples that are difficult to analyze by the conventional transmittance method. In all, reflectance techniques can be divided into two categories: internal reflection and external reflection. In internal reflection method, interaction of the electromagnetic radiation on the interface between the sample and a medium with a higher refraction index is studied, while external reflectance techniques arise from the radiation reflected from the sample surface. External reflection covers two different types of reflection: specular (regular) reflection and diffuse reflection. The former usually associated with reflection from smooth, polished surfaces like mirror, and the latter associated with the reflection from rough surfaces. -

Wang Radiometry Radiometry is the detection and measurement of light waves in the optical portion of the electromagnetic spectrum which is further divided into ultraviolet, visible, and infrared light. Example of a typical radiometer 3 W. Wang Photometry All light measurement is considered radiometry with photometry being a special subset of radiometry weighted for a typical human eye response. Example of a typical photometer 4 W. Wang Human Eyes Figure shows a schematic illustration of the human eye (Encyclopedia Britannica, 1994). The inside of the eyeball is clad by the retina, which is the light-sensitive part of the eye. The illustration also shows the fovea, a cone-rich central region of the retina which affords the high acuteness of central vision. Figure also shows the cell structure of the retina including the light-sensitive rod cells and cone cells. Also shown are the ganglion cells and nerve fibers that transmit the visual information to the brain. Rod cells are more abundant and more light sensitive than cone cells. Rods are 5 sensitive over the entire visible spectrum. W. Wang There are three types of cone cells, namely cone cells sensitive in the red, green, and blue spectral range. The approximate spectral sensitivity functions of the rods and three types or cones are shown in the figure above 6 W.
