Abstract
The development and testing of an ir hemi-ellipsoidal mirror reflectometer (HEMR), operational over a wavelength interval of 2–34 μm, 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 μm to 34 μm.
