Abstract From the Canadian patent

A property of a sheet material such as a thin, infrared, radiation-transmissive film of plastic or the like with specular surfaces is measured with substantial freedom from errors caused by wave interference effects, utilizing a radiation source for generating infrared radiation having a wavelength subject to absorption in the sheet material. Beams of the radiation are directed from a multiplicity of points as on the diffusively reflective inner surface of a sphere to a surface of the sheet material at a broad spectrum of incidence angles. Radiation leaving the sheet material is intercepted and redirected to a surface of the sheet material. The radiation is directed and redirected by …
