Some Observations of Empirical Mirror Scatter

Abstract
The near-axis scatter of infrared (10.6 µm) energy from high reflectivity metal mirrors is described. Effects of contamination on the scatter are described. Methods of evaluating various forms of contamination are presented and selected data are presented. Finally, the recording techniques for surface characteristics photographically are described along with a typical photograph of a large aspheric mirror.
