The importance of surface reflectance anisotropy for cloud and NO2 retrievals from GOME-2 and OMI [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2018 The angular distribution of the light reflected by the Earth's surface influences top-of-atmosphere (TOA) reflectance values. This surface reflectance anisotropy has implications for UV/Vis satellite retrievals of albedo, clouds, and trace gases such ...

Calibration of BRDF Based on the Field Goniometer System Using a UAV Multispectral Camera
Sensors, 2022 The bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) is important for estimating the physical properties of a surface in remote sensing. In the laboratory, the BRDF can be estimated quickly and accurately using a goniometer, but it is very ...

Anisotropy and oblique total transmission at a planar negative-index interface [PDF]
, 2003 We show that a class of negative index (n) materials has interesting anisotropic optical properties, manifest in the effective refraction index that can be positive, negative, or purely imaginary under different incidence conditions.

Sensing strain-induced symmetry breaking by reflectance anisotropy spectroscopy [PDF]
Applied Physics Letters, 2021 Intentional breaking of the lattice symmetry in solids is a key concept to alter the properties of materials by modifying their electronic band structure. However, the correlation of strain-induced effects and breaking of the lattice symmetry is often indirect, resorting to vibrational spectroscopic techniques, such as Raman scattering.

Reflectance anisotropy spectroscopy of magnetite (110) surfaces [PDF]
Physical Review B, 2014 Reflectance anisotropy spectroscopy (RAS) has been used to measure the optical anisotropies of bulk and thin-film Fe3O4(110) surfaces. The spectra indicate that small shifts in energy of the optical transitions, associated with anisotropic strain or electric field gradients caused by the (110) surface termination or a native oxide layer, are ...
