    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Materials Science
    • Optical Metrology

    Background:

    • The bidirectional transmittance distribution function (BTDF) is crucial for characterizing light scattering in optical materials.
    • Chemically vapor-deposited (CVD) zinc selenide (ZnSe) is a significant optical material, necessitating accurate scattering property evaluation.
    • Existing methods for BTDF measurement face limitations due to instrumentation constraints.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a working equation for BTDF measurements of CVD ZnSe, accounting for practical instrumentation limitations.
    • To present a comprehensive dataset of BTDF for CVD ZnSe across varying thicknesses and laser wavelengths.
    • To establish a standardized methodology for BTDF assessment in optical materials.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a BTDF measurement equation addressing finite detector size, sample surface effects, and detector linearity.
    • Detailed description of the specialized instrumentation and data collection procedures for BTDF analysis.
    • Experimental setup utilizing three laser wavelengths (0.6328, 3.39, and 10.6 µm) and three ZnSe sample thicknesses (6, 19, and 25 mm).

    Main Results:

    • Empirical BTDF data were collected and plotted against the angle from the sample normal for CVD ZnSe at room temperature.
    • Scattering characteristics were quantified for different ZnSe thicknesses and across the specified laser wavelengths.
    • The developed BTDF methodology proved effective in characterizing the optical scattering behavior of the material.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed BTDF measurement approach provides a viable method for assessing the scattering properties of optical materials like CVD ZnSe.
    • The presented data offer valuable insights into the wavelength and thickness-dependent scattering behavior of ZnSe.
    • This work contributes to the precise characterization of optical components for advanced applications.
