Diffusion Factor (of a diffusing surface, by reflection or by transmission)
The ratio of the mean of the values of luminance measured at 20 and 70 degrees to the luminance measured at 5 degrees from the normal, when the surface considered is illuminated normally.
Symbol: s
Note 1: The diffusion factor is intended to give an indication of the spatial distribution of the diffused flux. It is equal to 1 for every uniform diffuser, whatever the value of the diffuse reflectance.
Reference: C.I.E. (extract)
