Flat-sample and limited-field effects in integrating sphere measurements
Description
The effect of large, flat diffuse samples on integrating sphere measurements is calculated exactly, based on an extension of the integral equation formalism of Jacquez and Kuppenheim [J. Opt. Soc. Am. 45, 460 (1955)]. The theory is further extended to include the effect of a limited detector field of view, and examples for different sphere configurations are provided. A variation of Taylor's method for absolute reflectance measurements is presented that has the advantage of an improved signal-to-noise ratio
