Abstract
This paper presents a novel test device for evaluating the integral scattering characteristics of the extinction material in spaceborne telescopes. By employing the scattering theory, the device enables a more comprehensive measurement of the scattering characteristics, facilitating a better understanding of the material’s behavior. The paper discusses in detail the integral scattering theory, system construction, and system performance. The system is further modeled and simulated, leading to the conclusion that the scattering characteristics of the extinction material exhibit significant variations at different points and incident angles. Notably, the system is capable of measuring the scattering characteristics under various conditions, thereby providing a comprehensive distribution of the material's scattering behavior. This comprehensive and accurate scattering characteristic distribution serves as a valuable reference for targeted design, stray light measurement and suppression, development of high-performance optical instruments, and research in computational optics. Moreover, it establishes a solid foundation for material selection, characteristic investigation, stray light analysis, and suppression in spaceborne telescopes employed for the detection of gravitational waves.

Overview
Overview: Gravitational wave detection is a prominent and highly anticipated research area in modern science. With technological advancements and the development of scientific theories, our understanding of the techniques and methods for detecting gravitational waves has deepened. Gravitational waves are disturbances predicted by Einstein’s general theory of relativity, arising from the curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy. The detection of gravitational waves holds significant importance in comprehending the evolution of the universe, black hole physics, and the origin of the cosmos, among other scientific inquiries. However, due to the extraordinarily weak intensity of gravitational waves, detection necessitates high-precision measurement devices and sophisticated technical means.
As one of the key tools for detecting gravitational waves, space-based telescopes offer advantages such as high precision, high resolution, and the ability to conduct long-duration observations. However, these telescopes encounter interference during observations, including cosmic background and scattered light generated by the telescope itself. To these interferences, extinguishing materials are used to reduce scattered light. These materials possess the ability to absorb or scatter light, effectively minimizing light reflection and scattering and thereby enhancing observation accuracy and signal-to-noise ratio of telescopes. In order to gain a better understanding of the scattering characteristics of extinguishing materials, this study analyzes and examines the design features of scattering light measurement systems both domestically and internationally, building upon the foundations of scattering theory. By combining practical detection challenges and experiences, a test device for assessing the integral scattering characteristics of extinguishing materials employed in space-based telescopes is devised, facilitating more comprehensive measurements of their scattering characteristics. Through simulation modeling and comparisons with actual measurements, it is concluded that the surface roughness of components and the incident angle of light impact the distribution of component scattering, especially in different materials where scattering characteristics demonstrate changes with increasing incident angles. Consequently, achieving precise measurements of the scattering characteristics distribution of components holds paramount importance in cutting-edge design endeavors. This research provides a more comprehensive and accurate understanding of the distribution of scattering characteristics based on the specific properties of extinguishing materials, serving as a valuable reference for stray light measurement and suppression, development and calibration of high-performance optical instruments, and research within the field of computational optics, among others. Ultimately, it establishes a foundation for material selection, characteristic exploration, stray light analysis, and suppression in the context of space-based gravitational wave detection telescopes.
