Coating Haze Reports: Identify Compensated and Uncompensated Values

Some instruments compensate haze values for influences such as background colour. A compensated result is not automatically interchangeable with an uncompensated one.

Updated · NANOLAB Knowledge

Practical approach

Record the parameter name and instrument method, and use a consistent basis for acceptance.

Comparing dark and light panels may require particular attention to how the instrument reports haze.

Decision limits

Do not remove the parameter label from a comparison chart and leave only a favourable number.
