Information on the scatter characteristics of optical and mechanical surfaces is presented. A detailed study of how to efficiently perform quantitative stray light calculations is done, which includes in-depth coverage of the ASAP commands used for stray light analysis and the interactions between them. Analytic formulas that are useful for performing top-level stray light estimates and spot checks on quantitative stray light calculations are also presented. He holds a Bachelors degree in Physics from the University of Minnesota and a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Texas at Dallas. He is currently pursuing a Masters degree in optics at the University of Arizona s Optical Sciences Center.
