3、ed “gonioappearance.” This phenomenon is also observed with othermaterials, such as lustrous textiles and materials containing pearlescent or interference pigments. Thecharacteristic appearance of most such materials is accentuated by directional illumination, such asthat provided by the sun on a cl

4、ear day or a small lamp at night. The variation in color, as a functionof geometry, is usually measured by spectrophotometry with several specified sets of geometricconditions. Measurement of this kind, at a few selected angles, is called “multiangle spectrophotom-etry,” as distinguished from measur

5、ement over a broad range of angles, which is called “goniospec-trophotometry.” Spectrophotometric aspects of these measurements, including spectral resolution andlinearity of photometric scales, are treated in other standards, including Practice E 308 and PracticeE 1164. Practice E 1767 provides pra

6、ctice for specifying the geometry of measurements. Retroreflec-tors exhibit a special kind of gonioappearance, which is treated in other ASTM documents. Thepresent document provides standard practice for specifying influx and efflux angles, angularselectivity, spatial distributions of illuminators a

7、nd receivers, and angular aspects of standardizing thephotometric scale, that are peculiar to multiangle spectrophotometry. Directional illuminationemphasizes the gonioappearance of most materials, but when interference pigments are used, such asthose used in ink to mark paper currency, the effect i

Components of Apparatus5.1 The apparatus shall consist of one or more illuminatorsand one or more spectrometric receivers at fixed or adjustableangles with respect to a reference

16、 plane, a means of positioningspecimens in a reference plane, a means of indicating the areaon the specimen to be measured, shielding to avoid stray light,and a means of displaying spectral or colorimetric data and/orcommunicating such data to a data-recorder or computer. (Theterms “light,” “illumin

17、ator,” “illumination,” and “illuminance”are used here for simplicity, though the corresponding terms“radiant power,” “irradiator,” “irradiation,” and “irradiance”would be more accurate when the incident flux includesultraviolet flux, as is necessary if the appearance of a fluores-cent material is me

18、asured.)6. Geometric Types of Apparatus6.1 The geometric configuration of the instrument may beuniplanar, annular, circumferential, or diffuse. In all cases, thespecimen is taken to be a flat surface lying in a plane called the“reference plane,” which is designated the x, y plane. Whenthere is a sin

19、gle directional illuminator, the x direction is thedirection of the projection of the axis of the incident beam onthe reference plane. If there are several directional illuminatorsor a single diffuse illuminator, the direction of the x-axis mustbe selected and specified. The area of the reference pl

20、ane onwhich measurements are made is called the “sampling aper-ture” and the center of that area is designated the origin, o, ofthe geometric space used to specify the configuration. Thenormal to the sampling aperture, at the origin, is the -z-axis.Angles subtended at the origin and measured from th

21、at normalare called “anormal angles.” The specular direction is thedirection of the beam from a directional illuminator afterspecular reflection by an ideal plane mirror at the samplingaperture. Angles subtended at the origin and measured from thespecular direction are called “aspecular angles” and

22、are posi-tive in sign when measured in the direction toward the normal.The normal and the axis of a directional illuminator define aplane, known as the “plane of incidence.” The speculardirection necessarily lies in that plane.6.1.1 To facilitate simple and precise geometric specifica-tion of the sa

23、mpling aperture, it shall be either circular orrectangular.6.1.2 To facilitate simple and precise geometric specifica-tion of directional influx or efflux distributions, they shall beeither conical or pyramidal. For purposes of describing geom-etry by functional notation, a diffuse distribution may

24、beconsidered a conical distribution centered on the normal andhaving a half angle of 90 degrees.6.1.3 In a uniplanar configuration, a directional illuminatoris used, the axes of the receivers lie in the plane of incidence,and their positions are specified by aspecular angles. Auniplanar configuratio

25、n is illustrated in Fig. 1. To simplify thefigure, only one receiver is shown.6.1.3.1 For a conical influx distribution, the flux incident onthe origin comes from an area of a directional illuminatoruniformly filling a circle on a plane normal to the beam. For aconical efflux distribution, flux from

26、 the origin is uniformlycollected and evaluated over an area of the receiver that is acircle on a plane normal to the beam. A uniplanar configurationwith conical influx and efflux distributions is illustrated in Fig.2. To simplify the figure, only one receiver is shown.6.1.3.2 For a pyramidal influx

27、 distribution, flux incident onthe origin comes from an area of a directional illuminatoruniformly filling a rectangle on a plane normal to the beam. Fora pyramidal efflux distribution, flux from the origin is uni-formly collected and evaluated over an area of the receiver thatis a rectangle on a pl

28、ane normal to the beam. A pyramidalconfiguration can be used to subtend a small angle in the planeof incidence, to enhance angular selectivity, but have a largeenough solid angle to provide adequate flux for reliablemeasurements. A uniplanar configuration with pyramidal influxand efflux distribution

29、s is illustrated in Fig. 3. To simplify thefigure, only one receiver is shown and the angles d and e areshown for the receiver, but not for the illuminator.6.1.4 In an annular configuration, the incident beam uni-formly fills the space between two right-circular cones, withtheir axes on the normal a

30、nd apices at the origin. An annularconfiguration can be used to provide a flux distribution with asmall range of anormal angles, to enhance anormal angularselectivity, but of large enough solid angle to provide adequateflux for reliable measurements. The nominal angle of anannular distribution is th

31、e average of the half-angles of the twodefining cones. For multiangle spectrophotometry, provisionFIG. 1 Uniplanar ConfigurationE 21752must be made for several annular distributions with differentnominal angles. The efflux distribution is a conical distributionwith its axis on the normal and its ape

32、x at the origin.6.1.5 A circumferential configuration approximates an an-nular configuration, except that flux incident on the origincomes from a ring of discrete directional illuminators, allhaving their axes at the same anormal angle, but arrayed atvarious azimuthal angles. The nominal angle of in

33、cidence ismeasured from the normal to the axes of the illuminators. Formultiangle spectrophotometry, provision must be made forilluminators at several different nominal angles. A circumfer-ential configuration with three illuminators is illustrated in Fig.4. To simplify the figure, the angles ki, ui

34、, and hiare shown forthe first illuminator only.FIG. 2 Uniplanar Configuration with Conical Influx and Efflux DistributionsFIG. 3 Uniplanar Configuration with Pyramidal Influx and Efflux DistributionsFIG. 4 Circumferential ConfigurationE 217536.1.5.1 The discrete illuminators shall all have the same

35、nominal angle of incidence, for a given measurement.6.1.6 In a diffuse configuration, the incident flux is diffuse.Ideally, the illuminator illuminates the sampling aperture at allangles within the hemisphere on the -z side of the referenceplane, except those directions occupied by receivers. The us

36、eof an integrating sphere to produce uniform diffuse illumina-tion requires non-selective diffusing baffles to obscure theentrance port and the area on the sphere wall at which the fluxentering the sphere is first reflected. When diffuse illuminationis used, the receivers are all in one plane define

37、d by the normaland having an arbitrarily designated x-axis. The positions ofthe receivers are specified by anormal angles.6.2 Given a geometric configuration, the reverse geometryis considered equivalent, if all other components of theinstrument design are equivalent.7. Nominal Geometric Specificati

38、ons7.1 Angles for these specifications are customarily given indegrees.7.2 Uniplanar Geometry:7.2.1 The direction of a conical distribution is specified bythe angle u subtended at the origin from the normal to the axisof the distribution or the angle a subtended at the origin fromthe specular direct

39、ion to the axis of the distribution. The extentof a conical distribution is specified by the angle k subtendedat the origin by the radius of the circular distribution at theilluminator or receiver, with subscripts i and r indicatingilluminator and receiver, respectively. (See Fig. 2.) When morethan

40、one illuminator or receiver is involved, they are distin-guished by alphabetic subscripts a, b, c, etc., the half-anglesbeing given symbols of the form kia, kib, kic, and kra, krb,krc.7.2.2 A pyramidal distribution is specified by angles d and e,where d is the angle subtended at the origin from the

41、centralaxis of the distribution to the edge, measured in the directionnormal to the plane of incidence, and e is the angle subtendedat the origin from the central axis of the distribution to theedge, measured in the plane of incidence. Subscript i and rdistinguish half-angles for the illuminator and

42、 receiver, respec-tively. Letter subscripts are added to identify multiple distri-butions, as in the case of circular conical distributions. (SeeFig. 3.)7.3 An annular distribution is specified by a half-angle ki1orkr1for the smaller of the two cones limiting the annulus and ki2or kr2for the larger

43、of the two. Subscripts a,b,c, etc. are usedto distinguish multiple distributions, as in the case of conicaldistributions, for example, ki1c. The nominal angle of incidenceor angle of reflection is given the same symbol without the 1 or2, for example kic. (See Fig. 4.)7.4 A circumferential distributi

44、on is specified by the anor-mal angle u of the axes of the discrete illuminators, the conicalor pyramidal description of the discrete illuminators, and theazimuthal positions of their axes with respect to some identi-fied direction, considered the x direction.7.5 A diffuse distribution is specified

45、by specifying direc-tions, if any, from which illumination is excluded, other thanthe obvious directions of receivers and necessary baffles.Excluded directions are specified in the same way as conical orpyramidal influx or efflux distributions.8. Angular Selectivity8.1 Angular selectivity is the deg

46、ree to which the measuredspectral quantity approaches the ideal value for the nominalangular geometry. Precise characterization of the effectiveangular “slit-width” of the measurement system can be diffi-cult, but the fraction of the angular illumination distributionand the angular sensitivity distr

47、ibution within specified anglescan be determined by practical means.8.2 Ideally, flux incident on the origin should come from thenominal direction specified for the measurement. At leastDEa% of the incident flux shall come from angles within Da1degrees of the nominal direction. All of the incident f

48、lux shallcome from angles within Da2degrees of the nominal direction.8.3 Ideally, the sensitivity of a receiver should be limited tothe nominal direction. A fraction DSa% of the angular sensi-tivity distribution shall be within Da3degrees of the nominaldirection. All of the angular sensitivity distr

49、ibution shall bewithin Da4degrees of the nominal direction.9. Tolerances9.1 The objective is to have the sampling aperture uniformlyilluminated. Tolerances are specified for the departure fromuniformity of the illuminance. The nominal specified angularextents of influx and efflux distributions should not be confusedwith tolerances. Tolerances are set on the specified boundaries.The objective is to have the specified nominal angular extentsof influx and efflux distributions uniformly filled. Tolerancesare specified for the departure from uniformity.9.2 Angular tolerances are given the sa
