Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO 13696:2002(E)
Introduction
In most applications, scattering in optical components reduces the efficiency and deteriorates the image-forming
quality of optical systems. Scattering is predominantly produced by imperfections of the coatings and the optical
surfaces of the components. Common surface features which contribute to optical scattering are imperfections of
substrates, thin films and interfaces, surface and interface roughness, or contamination and scratches. These
imperfections deflect a fraction of the incident radiation from the specular path. The spatial distribution of this
scattered radiation is dependent on the wavelength of the incident radiation and on the individual optical properties
of the component. For most applications in laser technology and optics, the amount of total loss produced by
scattering is a useful quality criterion of an optical component.
This International Standard describes a testing procedure for the corresponding quantity, the total scattering (TS)
value, which is defined by the measured values of backward scattering and forward scattering. The measurement
principle described in this International Standard is based on an Ulbricht sphere as the integrating element for
scattered radiation. An alternative apparatus with a Coblentz hemisphere, which is also frequently employed for
collecting scattered light, is described in annex A. Currently, advanced studies on the comparability and
the limitations of both light collecting elements are being performed (e.g. round robin tests, EUREKA-project
EUROLASER: CHOCLAB).

4 Test method
4.1 Principle
The fundamental principle (see Figure 1) of the measurement apparatus is based on the collection and integration
of the scattered radiation. For this purpose, a hollow sphere with a diffusely reflecting coating on the inner surface
(Ulbricht sphere) is employed. Beam ports are necessary for the transmission of the test beam and the specularly
reflected beam through the wall of the sphere. The sample is attached to one of these ports forming a part of the
inner surface of the sphere. For the measurement of the backward scattering, the specimen is located at the exit
port. The forward scattering is determined by mounting the specimen to the entrance port. The scattered radiation
is integrated by the sphere and measured by a suitable detector, that is attached to an additional port at an
appropriate position. A diffuse reflectance standard is used for calibration of the detector signal.
4.2 Measurement arrangement and test equipment
4.2.1 General
The measurement facility employed for the determination of the total scattering is divided into four functional
sections, which are described in detail below. One functional section consists of the radiation source and the beam
preparation system. Two different components are defined by the integration and detection of the scattered
radiation. Another section is formed by the sample holder and its optional accessories.

4.2.2 Radiation source
As radiation sources, lasers are preferred because of their excellent beam quality and the high power density
achievable on the sample surface. For special applications involving the wavelength dependence of scattering,
different conventional radiation sources may be used in conjunction with spectral filters or monochromators.
Different types of discharge, arc or tungsten lamps are suitable for wavelength-resolved total scatter
measurements.
The temporal power variation of the radiation source shall be measured and documented. For this purpose, a beam
splitter and a monitor detector are installed. The monitor detector shall be calibrated to the power at the sample
surface for both test locations at the entrance and exit port of the integrating element.
4.2.3 Beam preparation system
The beam preparation system consists of a spatial filter and additional apertures, if necessary, for cleaning the
beam. For measurements involving conventional radiation sources, additional optical elements are required for the
shaping and collimation of the beam. The beam diameter, d , at the surface of the specimen shall be greater than
σ
0,4 mm. No radiation power shall be present in the collimated beam profile beyond radial positions exceeding the
beam diameter by a factor of 2,5.

SIST EN ISO 13696:2002
ISO 13696:2002(E)
NOTE 1 The behaviour of the measured total scatter value may be dependent on the beam diameter and the beam profile
(see annex D).
On the sample surface, the beam profile shall be smooth without local power density values exceeding the average
power density within the beam diameter, d , by a factor of three. For measurement systems with a laser as the
σ
radiation source, a TEM -operation with a diffraction-limited Gaussian beam profile is recommended. The defined
00
state and angle of polarization shall be selected. For measurement systems using conventional radiation sources,
an unpolarized beam with a circular profile shall be realized. The beam profile on the sample surface shall be free
of diffraction patterns and parasitic spots in the outward region. The spatial beam profile on the sample surface
shall be recorded and documented.
NOTE 2 Beam deflection mirrors and beam splitters may have a reflectivity which depends on the polarization state of the
incident radiation, and they may also deteriorate the sensitivity of the measurement. The last optical element in front of the
integrating sphere shall be positioned such that the measurement is not influenced by it.
For the fractions of the beam reflected and transmitted by the sample, efficient beam dumps shall be employed to
suppress backscattering into the integrating sphere.
NOTE 3 An efficient beam dump may be constructed with a stack of optically absorbing neutral density filters. These filters
are arranged for non-normal angles of incidence in a housing with optically absorbing inner walls.
4.2.4 Integrating sphere
An integrating sphere is employed for the collection and integration of the radiation scattered by the sample. The
sphere shall be equipped with beam ports for the entrance and the exit of the probe beam and the fraction of the
beam which is specularly reflected by the specimen. The inner surface shall be coated with a highly diffusive
reflecting material with a Lambertian characteristic. Selected materials suitable for this coating and the
corresponding spectral ranges are listed in Table 2.
Table 2 — Selected materials for coating of the inner surface of the integrating sphere
Spectral range
Material
µm
Barium sulfate 0,35 to 1,4
Magnesium oxide 0,25 to 8,0
Polytetrafluoroethylene 0,20 to 2,5
Gold coating, matt 0,70 to 20

The diameters of the beam ports shall be equal and shall exceed the beam diameter, d , of the probe beam at the
σ
beam ports by at least a factor of five. The port for the detector shall be adapted to the sensitive area of the
detecting element. The detailed shape of the ports shall be optimized for minimum deterioration of the integrating
action and for a contact-free installation of the test sample. Baffles coated with the same material as the inner
surface of the sphere shall be installed between the exit and entrance port and the detector port. Radiation baffles
in front of the detector port are recommended in order to shield the detector against radiation directly scattered by
the specimen to the location of the detector. For compensation of spatial inhomogeneities of the detector
sensitivity, an optional diffuser may be attached to the detector.
An interval from 2° to 85° is defined as the minimum range of the acceptance angle for scattered radiation. The
minimum size of the integrating sphere is specified by the lower limit of 2,0° for the acceptance angle.
NOTE The determination of the minimum size of the integrating sphere originates from the beam diameter, d , at the beam
σ
ports of the Ulbricht sphere. The minimum diameter of the entrance port is directly related to this beam diameter by the factor of
five. The minimum sphere diameter is then calculated on the basis of the minimum diameter of the entrance port and the lower
limit for the acceptance angle. (The minimum diameter of the integrating sphere is approximately 72 times the beam diameter,
d .)

SIST EN ISO 13696:2002
ISO 13696:2002(E)
For measurement systems with radiation sources other than lasers or special measurement conditions, the beam
diameter, d , achievable may result in an impractically large size of the integrating sphere. In such cases, the
σ
diameters of the entrance and exit ports shall be adjusted to a value that guarantees no vignetting of the incident,
transmitted and reflected beams. The lower and upper limits for the acceptance angles shall be documented.
For specific problems caused by limitations of the integrating element, the detectors and radiation source shall be
taken into account for an application of ISO 13696 below a wavelength of 250 nm. The amount of radiation
scattered at a discontinuity is a function of both the discontinuity dimensions and the wavelength of the radiation. In
practice, scattering becomes less important at longer wavelengths.
As an alternative, a Coblentz half-sphere with an appropriate reflecting surface may be employed. A typical set-up
and the corresponding measurement procedure are described in annex A.
4.2.5 Detection system
For detection of the scattered radiation, a detector is employed that is appropriate for the wavelength range of the
radiation source. The detector system shall have a sufficient sensitivity for the radiation source and a dynamic
5
range greater than 10 with a deviation from linearity of less than 2 %. The size of the sensitive detector area shall
be optimized in order to exclude a deterioration of the integration process in the sphere and influence of speckle on
the measurement. The detector is attached to the detection port of the sphere with its sensitive area forming
approximately one part of the inner surface.
For shielding the detector against the direct radiation scattered onto the sensitive area by the specimen, radiation
baffles shall be insta
