Abstract

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is widely used in remote sensing applications requiring a diffuse reflectance standard for detector calibration. The bi-directional and directional-hemispherical reflectance properties of both pressed and sintered PTFE were measured at ultraviolet wavelengths (200 nm to 400 nm) to provide information for their use as standards in this spectral range. The reflectance decreases with decreasing wavelength for both geometries, and the ratio between the reflectances for these geometries remains constant for wavelengths from 300 nm to 400 nm.
