Summary and References
A partially reflective scattering surface may be constructed in ZEMAX by applying an ideal coating in addition to a specific scattering profile. Underneath the Coating/Scattering tab of the Object Properties dialog in Non-Sequential ZEMAX, various coatings and scattering profiles can be applied to different faces (known as Coating/Scatter Groups) of an object.
By accounting for polarization, split rays, and scatter rays, the options for modeling different scattering type surfaces are virtually endless.
