Abstract class Instrument_BRDF_Model

The abstract class Instrument_BRDF_Model was created in order to classify a set of scattering models as improper BRDF models. Models which inherit Instrument_BRDF_Model should be understood to not represent true scattering functions, but rather those which would be measured by instruments under certain conditions.

Parameters:

Parameter Data Type Description Default
lambda double Wavelength of the light in vacuum [µm].
(Inherited from BRDF_Model.)		 0.532
type int Indicates whether scattering is evaluated in reflection (0) or transmission (1).
(Inherited from BRDF_Model.)		 0
substrate dielectric_function The optical constants of the substrate, expressed as a complex number (n,k) or, optionally, as a function of wavelength.
(Inherited from BRDF_Model.)		 (4.05,0.05)
