Balasubramanian Muralikrishnan, Xinsu Lu, Mary Gregg, Katharine Shilling, Braden Czapla

Terrestrial laser scanners (TLS) are portable dimensional measurement instruments used to obtain 3D point clouds of objects in a scene. While TLSs do not require the use of cooperative targets, they are sometimes placed in a scene to fuse or compare data

Laser tracker and terrestrial laser scanner range error evaluation by stitching

Laser trackers (LTs) are dimensional measurement instruments commonly employed in the manufacture and assembly of large structures. Terrestrial laser scanners (TLSs) are a related class of dimensional measurement instruments more commonly employed in

Direct method of extracting broadband complex refractive index from spectrophotometric measurements: an application to polydimethylsiloxane for passive radiative cooling

September 23, 2021

Author(s)

Braden E. Czapla, Leonard Hanssen

We describe an algorithm to extract the complex refractive index of a material from broadband reflectance and transmittance measurements taken by spectrophotometers. The algorithm combines Kramers-Kronig analysis with an inversion of Fresnel's equations to
