I am an optical scientist with extensive data resources and expertise for the selection of Spectrally Selective Surfaces and materials (e.g. black) and scatter data (BRDF, BTDF), for ground- and space-based photonics applications. My company's SOLEXIS database products help optical scientists and engineers, system engineers, material scientists, and astronomers design, analyze and improve the performance and efficiency of high-precision optical systems all the way from concept to construction. Our white screen products, SORICSCREEN, are used as a flat fielding screen for CCD calibration, used by astronomical telescopes.
