Abstract

Optical methods are available for evaluating the surface finish of metals. This paper covers measurements of the specular and diffuse reflection from ground and lapped surfaces using helium-neon laser light. The specular reflection gives information on the probability distribution of roughness height, while the diffuse reflection depends on the roughness slope distribution.
