Optical radiation measurements (original) (raw)

AI-generated Abstract

An orderly general method is presented for developing mathematical descriptions of spectrophotometric measurements, which aims to enhance accuracy and understanding in the scientific and industrial community. The paper emphasizes the importance of precise definitions of measurements, accuracy, and errors, providing a framework illustrated through a specific example of a 45-degree, 0-degree reflectance measurement. This method will guide future work on specific classes of measurements and aims to harmonize existing nomenclature while avoiding conflicts with customary symbol usage.
