A method of comparing the effective dispersion area of specular reflectors in a parallel beam of probe radiation

  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

The fundamental assumptions of a method of comparison of the effective dispersion area of specular reflectors in the form of spherical mirror surfaces used in measurements of the reflection characteristics of objects in the case of active laser sensing conditions. An analysis of the systematic errors of the method is carried out and recommendations for decreasing this error are developed.
