Second-order diffraction effects in practical radiometry: analytical asymptotic results

Published

Author(s)

Eric Shirley

Abstract

Formulas are presented for the leading term in second-order diffraction effects on optical radiometric measurements. The results are compared to those of numerical calculations. The results of this work can be used to facilitate streamlined improvements in diffraction corrections to measurements. Potential future extensions of this work are also mentioned.
