Analysis of light scattering, using the APART computer program, begins at the image plane and progresses through the optical system to the front end of the telescope tube. The approach identifies all critical surfaces, computes the geometrical configuration factors (GCF) from each area of the system under study to all other areas of the system, and determines incident and reflected angles which are important for baffle surfaces which do not have Lambertian scattering characteristics. The power input into the optical surface from either point source objects or extended objects such as the bright Earth are computed. The surface scattering characteristics and the GCF values are combined so that the power transfer to the image plane is computed. Capabilities for handling light scattering from baffle surfaces, specular reflectance from black surfaces, scattering from mirror surfaces, diffraction, internal scattering from transmissive optics, and internal thermal emission are assessed.
