An apparatus for measuring the reflectance properties of an object having a front reflecting surface and at least one back reflecting surface. The apparatus includes a sample stage for placement of the object, a light source, a detector configured to detect reflected light from the object, and a positioning device configured to provide a plurality of angular positions for the light source and the detector relative to the object on the sample stage such that incident light on the object is specularly reflected towards the detector and the reflected light received at the detector includes a front surface reflection from the object and at least one back surface reflection from the object. The method includes illuminating the object at varying angles of incidence, collecting reflected light from the front and back reflecting surfaces of the object at respective specularly reflected angles, wavelength resolving the reflected light into a color spectrum, and analyzing an intensity of the color spectrum as a function of wavelength.

Apparatus and method for angular colorimetry

A method and apparatus for vacuum coating plural articles employs a drum work holder configuration and a sputter source with a plurality of individually controlled anodes for effectively providing uniform coatings on articles disposed at different locations on the drum work holder. A small number of measured process parameters are used to control a small number of process variable to improve coating uniformity from batch to batch.

Multi-anode device and methods for sputter deposition

A method and apparatus for vacuum coating plastic lens elements employs Meissner traps and a drum work holder configuration for effectively condensing water vapor in the system.
