Instrucciones para el uso del IRIS 908RS
Max Boccas, 20 Agosto 2000
Reflectivity measurements are made with 4 leds at 470, 530, 650 and 880nm at 45deg incident angle (the data is then corrected to 0deg with the Fresnel laws). The scatter is measured through the BRDF (Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function) and measured with a laser diode at 670nm (this is sensitive to polarization). The BRDF is the scattered power per unit solid angle normalized by the incident power and the cosine of the scatter angle. The BRDF is measured at 3 angles from the normal (0, 30 and 65deg) and for the incident angle 45deg. The log records BRDF(65,45) noted '+20deg', BRDF(35,45) noted '-15deg' and BRDF(0,45) noted '-45deg'. Micro-roughness of the surface is calculated from the scatter.
1. Poner la maleta del Iris a temperatura ambiente unos 30min antes de la medición
(dejar maleta abierta para estabilizar más rapido aún).
2. Encender el aparato en ON. Si no muestra 'Low Battery', seguir asi.
Sino, enchufar el cable del transformador y conectar al 110V (el Iris debe estar ON primero sino se pondrá en modo Carga de bateria).
3. CALIBRAR
3.1. Calibrar la reflectividad
3.2. Calibrar el Scatter
4. PRE-MEDICIONES
Limpiar 3 pads del Iris con alcohol y llevar Iris al espejo.
4.1 Scatter
4.2. Reflectividad
5. Limpiar espejo con CO2 (dejar Iris protegido)
6. POST-MEDICIONES
7. Apagar y guardar el Iris. Tener mucho cuidado con la limpieza de los gauges y el Iris mismo.
8. Descarga de la data al PC. Conectar el Iris a la puerta serial del PC. Lanzar programa Hyperterminal con el icono Iris908rs. Seleccionar Transfer/Capture_Text y el file C:/max/iris/capture.txt
Apoyar en F4 y START en el iris. Aparecerá la data en la ventana del PC. Cuando termina cerrar el Hyperterminal y apagar el Iris.
The Minolta uses a white shiny surface as calibration gauge and is more oriented toward colorimetry analysis. The absolute calibration of our device is wrong (Al reflectivity in the blue has a peculiar increasing slope and sometimes approaches 96%!) so only relative measurements (loss and gain) are meaningful. On the contrary, the Iris uses both a reflection gauge (a polished and protected aluminized mirror) and a scatter gauge (a ground glass) that are precisely calibrated in factory, thus providing absolute numbers that can be directly compared with the theorical curves presented. Unfortunately, our experience trying to calibrate the Minolta versus the Iris is not very coherent as we see different behaviours with different coatings: in general the Minolta reflectometry data seems to be overestimated by about 3.7% (470nm), 3.1% (530nm) and 5.0% (650nm) for coatings made at the 4m chamber, and by 1.3% (470nm), 1.0% (530nm) and 3.1% (650nm) for coatings made at the 1.5m chamber (all offset are within +/-0.5%).
