Optical Scattering Measurement 金莲直播
Optical scattering measurements characterize how light is reflected or transmitted from surfaces or materials, considering factors like angle of incidence, wavelengths, and polarization. These measurements are crucial for R&D, quality control, and optical simulation. 金莲直播' LightTools and LucidShape products offer SmartStart Libraries for precise light scattering data, saving time and reducing costs. Our in-house lab provides custom measurement services, including 2D and 3D BSDF, high-resolution BSDF, and more.
