However, the solar diffuser is exposed during in-flight satellite sensor calibration to high-energy ultraviolet irradiance, particle impacts and atomic oxygen effects. This paper describes desirable solar diffuser characteristics and the results of proton and UV irradiation on the directional-hemispheric spectral reflectance, the bidirectional spectral reflectance factor and the polarization properties of candidate diffuser materials.Read More
