How do you perform Lambertian scattering in IR with a UV source in NSC?

Question

Hello,I have a source that emits ultraviolet light. The light passes through an optical fibre and then hits a material that emits infrared light in a Lambertian manner.How can I ensure that only the rays emitted by the excited surface of my cylinder are all infrared? As you can see in the image below, my source emits infrared light, which is not the case. The small disc above is a detector with which I want to see only the infrared rays of my cylinder.I tried do this according to this tutorial but I don't understand what I am doing wrong.https://support.zemax.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500005575642-How-to-model-fluorescence-using-bulk-scattering

Hi Jonathan,Since the bulk scattering has to occur insidea volume object, you can simply add a TABLE coating to the rear surface (Face 2) and make sure that only the infrared light is passed through. You an use something like the following coating:TABLE IR_PASSANGL 0WAVE 0.69 0 0 0 0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0WAVE 0.70 0 0 1 1 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 ANGL 90WAVE 0.69 0 0 0 0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0WAVE 0.70 0 0 1 1 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0This is absorb any visible light less than 690nm and will 100% transmit any light greater than or equal to 700nm, regardless of the angle of incidence.

Thank you very much Michael!I tried as you mentioned and it works.
