Standards
Reference surfaces for reflectance and transmission in the solar wavelengths are available
from (among others) Labsphere in the USA, the National Institute of Standards and
Testing (NIST) in the USA, and from the National Physics Laboratory (NPL) in the UK.
Labsphere provide reference surfaces with reflectances varying from 2%R to 99%R.

NIST provide a range of transmission filters and solutions, and also provide the following
materials for reflectance:
• First surface, Aluminium on glass
• First surface, Gold on glass
• Second surface, Aluminium on fused quartz
• Second surface, Aluminium on fused quartz, with wedge.

Reference Materials available from NPL for reflectance include:
• Russian opal
• White ceramic tile
• Black ceramic tile
• Colored tiles
• Aluminium mirrors
• Absorbing glass.
NPL also have transmission standards of neutral glass filters with transmission values of
0.92 to 0.001.
