Establishing a scale of directional-hemispherical reflectance factor I: The Van den Akker method

open access: yesJournal of Research of the National Bureau of Standards, 1977
A thorough study and error analysis was made of the Van den Akker or "auxiliary sphere" method of determining a scale of directional-hemispherical reflectance factor. The effects of a non-Lambertian distribution of the reflected radiation, including retroreflection, were included in this study. Three working standards were measured to an uncertainty in

Diurnal Patterns of the Bi-Directional Reflectance of Fresh-Water Ice

open access: yes, 1990
To improve the interpretation of surface cryospheric albedo from satellite sensor data, diurnal measurements of the spectral bi-directional reflectance of a commonly-found fresh-water ice type were made, from which hemispherical reflectance can be ...

Bi-directional reflectance study on particulate layers: Effects of pore liquid absorption coefficient

open access: yes, 2007
We have made bi-directional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) measurements on particulate layers wetted by absorbing liquids. The measurement results indicate that the BRDF tends to become more Lambertian as the interstitial pore liquid becomes ...

Transducers Across Scales and Frequencies: A System‐Level Framework for Multiphysics Integration and Co‐Design

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Transducers convert physical signals into electrical and optical representations, yet each mechanism is bounded by intrinsic trade‐offs across bandwidth, sensitivity, speed, and energy. This review maps transduction mechanisms across physical scale and frequency, showing how heterogeneous integration and multiphysics co‐design transform isolated ...
