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 2.

The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. 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 document may be the subject of patent

rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO 13697 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 172, Optics and photonics, Subcommittee SC 9,

Introduction

Laser-based optical systems require optical components with greatly enhanced reflectance and/or

transmission characteristics. It is necessary to be able to measure these characteristics precisely. The

measurement procedures in this International Standard have been optimized to allow the measurement of the

specular reflectance and transmittance of the optical components to a high degree of accuracy over a wide

range of values.

This International Standard specifies measurement procedures for the precise determination of the specular

reflectance and regular transmittance of optical laser components. The accuracy of the described test

methods exceeds that of measurement procedures outlined in ISO 15368 by several orders of magnitude.

5 Test and calibration principles
5.1 General

Specular reflectance and regular transmittance are determined optically as the ratio of the regularly reflected

or regularly transmitted part of the reflected or transmitted power radiation to the incident power radiation.

The reflectance or the transmittance of the test sample are constant within the temperature fluctuations

experienced by the component during the test and are independent of the power density of the impinging

radiation.
5.2 Specular reflectance

The reflectance of optical components is determined optically by means of a measuring arrangement as

shown in Figures 1 and 2.

An optically flat and highly reflective chopper mirror divides the laser beam into a probe beam and a reference

beam. The probe beam is reflected by the chopper mirror and the sample, whereas the reference beam

transmits without being affected. Both beams, alternating temporally, impinge upon the same spot on the rear

target of the integrating sphere.

Figure 1 shows the measuring arrangement for near-normal incidence, whereas the angular dependence of

reflectance can be measured in a measuring arrangement according to Figure 2. Compared with the

arrangement in Figure 1, an additional mirror is used to create a double bounce permitting the measurement

of the reflectance of the sample at different angles of incidence.

ISO 13697:2006(E)
The powers P for the probe beam and P for the reference beam are related by

P P

ch m
where
ρ is the specular reflectance of the additional deflecting mirror;
ρ is the double bounce on the sample;
ρ is the specular reflectance of the sample;
ρ is the specular reflectance of the chopper mirror.
The specular reflectance ρ of the test sample can be expressed as
1 ∆P
ρ = ×− 1 (2)
⎝⎠r
ch m
where ∆P = P − P
r p
5.3 Transmittance

The transmittance of optical components is determined by means of a measuring arrangement as shown in

Figure 3 using an additional mirror with known reflectance ρ .

For the powers P and P measured with a set-up according to Figure 3, the following relationship exists

p r
P = τρ ρ P (3)
p s ch m r
whereτ is the regular transmittance of the sample.

The regular transmittance τ of the test sample can be calculated from the following relationship:

1 ⎛⎞∆P
= ×− 1 (4)
s ⎜⎟
⎝⎠r
ch m
5.4 Calibration

The reflectance of the chopper mirror has to be known for evaluation. Figure 4 shows the measurement set-up

used for the calibration procedure. To determine the two unknown specular reflectances ρ of the additional

mirror and ρ of the chopper mirror, two sets of measurements have to be performed. One measurement is

done in the set-up of the test procedure described in 8.2, while for the other measurement the integrating

sphere and an additional mirror have to be replaced according to Figure 4. The beam transforming optics and

the chopper mirror remain unchanged to ensure that the laser hits the chopper under identical conditions. For

the set-up according to Figure 4, the following relationship for the powers P and P exists

p r
= (5)

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
ISO 13697:2006(E)

This set-up enables the computation of the quotient Q of the specular reflectance of the additional mirror and

the chopper mirror.
Q = (6)

Their product P is determined according to Figure 1, where the sample is replaced by the additional mirror. In

this case:
P=×ρ ρ (7)

The specular reflectance of the chopper ρ and the additional mirror ρ are given by
