Abstract
We present a novel setup to study the scattering properties of mirror coatings. It is designed to measure angle-resolved scattering from coated substrates, with a special emphasis on the study of point scatterers. Near speckle-free imaging is achieved with a rotating diffuser. This setup presents advantages for the identification and analysis of individual defects, which are critical in sensitive optical applications, especially in gravitational-wave detectors.
