Abstract
We measured in-plane bidirectional-reflectance-distribution-function (BRDF) profiles for specular, haze and Lambertian samples using a converging light beam and a photopic photodiode. The results were validated by comparing the hemispherical reflectance values calculated from BRDF data with direct measurements by the use of integrating spheres, whereby an agreement to within 2 % was achieved.
