Abstract
The design of integrating cavity absorption meters of general geometry is a nalyzed for cases in which the incident illumination of the cavity is spati ally uniform and isotropic, such as the meter of Fry et al. [Appl. Opt. 31, 2055 (1992)]. The analysis by Kirk [Appl. Opt. 34, 4397 (1995)] for the pr obability of photon survival in a spherical meter is extended to general ge ometries. An estimate of the effect of the shape of the cavity on the estim ated absorption coefficient is given. (C) 1999 Optical Society of America.
