Abstract:

The mechanisms of ambient background illumination in different optical systems are elucidated. A numerical method for calculating this background illumination in the focal plane of an optical system is described. The results of calculations of the ambient background illumination as a function of the angle of incidence of illuminating radiation are given. Contributions from different mechanisms of radiation scattering to the ambient background illumination in the focal plane are analyzed.
