Reflectance of an Inhomogeneous Thin Film

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

An exact formula for the intensity reflectance of light incident normally on a nonabsorbing nonhomogeneous thin film is derived for the case where the refractive index changes exponentially with film thickness and the film is bounded on either side by nonabsorbing homogeneous semi-infinite media. A formula for the phase change at reflection is also derived.
