[Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function of Space-Borne Quartz Volume Diffuser]
Abstract:
Quartz Volume Diffuser(QVD) is used in the observing system of Space-Borne differential optical absorption spectrometer. The precision of observed solar spectrum directly influences the accuracy of the gas retrievals. Therefore the QVD is required for well Lambert feature to ensure the accuracy of full field solar spectrum, and it can provide uniformity source in the observing view of the instrument. Using bidirectional reflectance distribution function(BRDF) measurement instrument, adopting the powder pressboard of F4(polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE)), QVD’s BRDF is measured by choosing the relative measurement method. Four kinds of QVD’s BRDF is obtained in the range of 180~880 nm, the observing view of -70°~+70°. Two kinds of QVD which has a well Lambert feature are selected by analyzing the QVD’s BRDF. The diffuse sunlight measured by QVD and F4 is compared, which show that QVD has well scattering properties with regard to solar spectrum and can be selected as the measuring diffuser. That supports for next Ultraviolet irradiation measurement, atomic oxygen erosion measurement and comparison measurement.
