Theory of the Integrating Sphere
Abstract
The general theory of the integrating sphere as used in the measurement of total spectral reflectance is formulated as an integral equation and solved for five special cases. Two methods of measuring reflectance are considered. In the substitution method, sample and standard are placed in turn at the sample aperture and the ratio of the respective photocell readings determined. In the comparison method, both sample and standard are in place at all times at their respective apertures. The beam is switched from sample to standard and the ratio of the respective photocell readings determined. The efficiency and error, and their interdependence are discussed for both methods and for different geometries of the sphere. The design of a comparison type sphere with maximum efficiency and low error is considered.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
