This fully automatic gonio-reflectance measurement system automatically captures complete spectral & colorimetric properties at 0° and 45° angle of incidence simultaneously, for coated glass, polished substrates or diffuse surfaces without requiring second-surface masking. Substrates as thin as 400µm can be tested with typical scan times of 300ms per measurement point.
Based on high precision spectroradiometric instrumentation, proprietary measurement techniques and expertise in low-light measurement technology developed by Gamma Scientific, the product range features industry-leading accuracy, repeatability and throughput, including both refractive index determination and thin film coating thickness.
Applications
- Anti-reflectance coating characterization
- Flat-panel display glass testing
- Touchscreen display glass testing
- Optical filter / lens testing
- Pyrolytic glass coating test & characterization
- Characterization of flat panel displays, photovoltaic coatings, low-E architectural coatings, paint samples and diffuse plastics
Highly Accurate & Repeatable Reflection Measurements
- Nondestructively capture complete spectral and colorimetric properties with scan times as short as 200 msec per measurement point
- Isolated first-surface measurement of thin glass substrates down to 500 µm in thickness without requiring second-surface masking
- Measure total reflectance or isolate internal optical interfaces
- Test capability for diffuse or specular surfaces
- Programmable, multi-location measurement, pass/fail criteria settings and binning capabilities
- Configuration options including handheld, semi-automatic and fully automatic rotary systems with robotic loading
In addition to our exceptional technical and functional capabilities, Gamma Scientific is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited by NVLAP (NVLAP lab code 200823-0).
