The Beckman DK2A Ratio Recording Spectroreflectometer is a
spectroreflectometer using an integrating sphere with
three ports: one for the detector; one for the sample;
and one for the standard. Detectors are interchangable.
A photomultiplier is used for visible wavelengths; a
lead sulfide cell for infrared wavelengths. The detectors
measure relative reflectance of the sample with respect to
the standard by alternately illuminating both (via a
mirror-chopper) and measuring the AC voltage resulting
in the detector.
The output is the relative reflectivity of the sample
presented in two forms: as a plot on a stationary chart
recorder; and as a sequence of values on punched paper
tape spaced at 50 Angstrom intervals. The instrument
also has an 'expanded scale' output option.
The Beckman DK2A is described in detail by Adams and
McCord (1970) [ADAMS&MCCORD1970].
