  • Broad Spectral Range
  • Customizable Filter Wheel
  • Turnkey System
  • Angle Flexibility
  • Low Noise Floor
  • Automated



Automated BRDF/BTDF measurements of surfaces, paints, coatings, liquids, and particles

The SOC-210 BDR measures the BRDF/BTDF of samples from 0.35 to 14μm using an assortment of interchangeable sources, spectral bandpass filters, and detectors. Complete hemispherical coverage is obtained by varying both incident polar and azimuth angles and reflected polar and azimuth angles. The SOC-210 BDR is designed to measure the BRDF/BTDF of samples in an automated environment, allowing the instrument to collect BSDF data unattended, continuously over multiple days.

Measurement Services

Full hemispherical bi-directional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) measurement

Bi-directional Transmittance Distribution Function (BTDF)

Optional polarization measurement capability

Spectral Range

.35 to 14 micrometer wavelength. Customized via interchangeable detector modules. Configuration options are:

Angular Coverage

Incident polar: Theta I θi = 0º to 85º

Incident azimuthal: Phi I φi = 0° to 360°

Reflected polar: Theta R θr = 0° to 85°

Reflected azimuthal: Phi R φr = 0° to 360°

Spectral Filtering

Standard commercial off-the-shelf thin film 1 inch diameter bandpass filters.

Automation

θi φi θr φr source aperture, neutral density (ND) filter wheel, and sample/reference X-stage. All listed variables are programmable and controllable from PC.

Sample Size

Normal sample size is one inch diameter circular. Ability to measure powders and liquids. Optional sample mount. A container for powders and liquids is provided.

Sources

Quartz halogen lamp, and/or silicon carbide glower. Optional laser sources. Laser diodes or small laser customization available upon request.

Detectors

Silicon (0.4-1.1 um), InGaAs (1.0-1.7 um), InSb (2.5-5.0 um), and MCT (7.0-14.0 um).
