Avian Technologies’ Low-Reflectance Specular Standard consists of a 2” square of highly polished Schott UG-11 glass backed by a low reflectance diffuse material to absorb any transmitted radiation, all encased in a black Delrin holder. The standard may be used to characterize systems where a standard first surface mirror would be too reflective.
Standards are available calibrated over two spectral ranges: 250-2500 nm or 360-830 nm; with the calibration angle at near-normal geometry (8°). The reflectance at this angle is quite flat, in the order of 5-6%R.
