Abstract

Improved optically absorptive surfaces as well as surfaces and structures exhibiting reduced or minimized optical scattering or reflection, including an improved optically black surface that can be used for stray light suppression having macroscopic repetitive features with multiple facets and/or curved faces that direct near specular rays and scattered rays from one feature element to neighboring elements.
