How to model a quartz window for an UVC light source

Dear experts,

I am an electronics engineer and trying to perform optical simulation using OpticStudio. I was able to model a UVC source and able to perform raytracing on single and array of LEDs. I am good until this.

Now, I am trying to introduce a quartz window between the source and see how the detector would experience the effects. I would assume the quartz window will add reflectionr and refraction. I tried using a rectangular volume and assigned the material as quartz. I could only see the rays getting refracted and nothing was reflected back. Can someone help me what I am doing wrong or what is the right way to do this?

Hi Pradeep,

To see the reflected rays you have to select 'Spilt NSC Rays’ in layout setting, so rays will splits as per surface properties whenever encounter. 

 

That worked. Thank you.
