Abstract
An optical study of satinated Pittsburgh glass wafers was conducted and special attention was paid to their applications in greenhouse industry. They included: specular reflectance spectra in the range 300–1100 nm, using a reflection probe, resolve angle scattering, diffuse reflectance by means of an integrating sphere, X–Y optical profile measurements and ellipsometric investigation by means of a spectroscopic ellipsometer. Additionally, a surface topography study of investigated samples was carried out by means of atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements. The obtained results allowed us to describe surface topography of chemically and mechanically modified surfaces.
