Explicit determination of the complex refractive index of an absorbing medium from reflectance measurements at and near normal incidence

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Measurement of reflectance at normal incidence R and its fractional change ΔR/R caused by a change of the angle of incidence from 0 to a small angle ϕ (ϕ ≲ 20°) permits explicit determination of both the refractive index n and extinction coefficient k of an isotropic absorbing medium. The medium of incidence (ambient) is assumed to have a known refractive index (e.g., =1 for vacuum or air), and the incident light is either p or s linearly polarized.
