Comparing optical four-flux model results with experimental data obtained by integrating sphere measurements
Four-flux theory is a way to model scattering through multiple layers of a system based on diffuse and collimated properties. When compared with measurement results obtained using an integrating sphere or a goniophotometer, an approximation is often made as the physical instrument cannot separate the collimated component from the diffuse light scattered in the forward direction. This paper tries to clarify the meaning of the word diffuse for the different cases and outlines simple corrections to improve the accuracy when comparing four-flux models and measured data based on sample haze and the geometry of the integrating sphere.
