Magnification of conic mirror reflectometers

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Conic mirror reflectometers are used to measure the diffuse reflectance and total integrated scatter of surfaces. In spite of the long history of using conic mirrors for these purposes, the maximum magnification of the three primary types of conic mirror (hemisphere, hemiellipsoid, and dual paraboloid) had not been compared quantitatively. To our knowledge, an exact magnification formula has not been published for any of the three primary conic mirrors. The maximum magnification is needed for proper sizing of detectors and radiation sources used with reflectometers. Exact analytical expressions for the maximum magnification of a Coblentz hemisphere, a hemiellipsoid, and a dual-paraboloid mirror system are derived and compared.
