A Brief Look at Optical Diffuse Reflection (ODR) Spectroscopy

Michael L. Myrick, Caitlyn M. English, Zechariah B. Kitzhaber

Abstract

In this short overview, we consider use cases for diffuse reflection spectroscopy and introduce the Kubelka-Munk diffuse reflectance formula. We conclude by comparing diffuse transmittance, diffuse reflectance, logarithmic transforms of both, and the Kubelka-Munk transform for mid-infrared spectroscopy of the same sample.
