Infrared reflectance measurements

The 410-DHR is a product of collaboration between U.S. Naval Air Systems Command and Surface Optics, with vital input from the Naval Research Lab (NRL) and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). It was developed to answer a broad need for a portable device for the verification of the optical properties of large objects in the field. The 410-DHR measures the integrated surface reflectance of a surface at two angles of incidence (20° and 60°) and for six discreet wavelength bands in the .9 to 12 μm spectral range.

In-band reflectance & emittance

.9 – 1.1, 1.9 – 2.4, 3.0 – 4.0, 3.0 – 5.0, 4.0 – 5.0, 8.0 – 12.0.

Curved and large targets

Measurements can be taken without special jigs or fixtures.

Dual angles of incidence

Near normal 20° and near grazing 60° incident angles.

Easy to use

Simply press port against sample and pull trigger.

Fast data collection

10 seconds or less per measurement

Grazing angle option

80° incident angle configuration option
