Abstract
Through the use of an efficient design and a newly available sphere coating
material, a simple, passive, sturdy averaging sphere was made that operates
effectively over the wavelength range from 200 nm to 2000 nm. Data are reported
for a sphere of this type in which the sphere transmittance is 0.32 at 200 nm
and rises rapidly to near the maximum theoretical value of 0.56 over the
remainder of the wavelength range. The several orders of magnitude reduction in
error due to beam displacement more than compensate the slight reduction in
signal for many spectrophotometric and radiometric applications.
