Monitoring of vapor uptake by refractive index and thickness measurements in thin films.
We report a method for real-time monitoring of vapor uptake by simultaneous detection of the refractive index, n, and thickness, d, of thin transparent films with a precision of δn=10(-4) and δd<100 nm. The setup combines total internal reflection (Abbé) refractometry with an interferometric imaging method. A fast Fourier transform and phase fitting method is applied for accurate and independen...
متن کاملPreparation of thin silica films with controlled thickness and tunable refractive index.
Silica films with controlled thickness and refractive index have been formed by the sequential adsorption of a cationic polyelectrolyte and silica sols. The conditions used to prepare the sol were varied, and allowed films with refractive indices as low as 1.16 to be obtained. The sequential adsorption technique allows the thickness of these films to be controlled in increments of 5-10 nm, depe...
متن کاملMeasurement of the Thickness and Refractive Index of Very Thin Films and the Optical Properties of Surfaces by Ellipsometry
The use of the ellipsometer for the measurement of the thickness and refractive index of very th in films is reviewed. The Poincare sphere representation of the s tate of polarization of light is developed and used to describe the reflection process. Details of the operation of the ellipsometer are examined critically. A computational method is presented by which the thickness of a film of know...
متن کاملIn situ measurement of humidity induced changes in the refractive index and thickness of polyethylene glycol thin films
Humidity induced changes in the refractive index and thickness of polyethylene glycol (PEG) thin films are in situ determined by optical waveguide spectroscopy. PEG brushes are covalently attached to the surface of a thin gold film on a borosilicate crown glass (BK7) using a grafting-from chemical synthesis technique. The measurements are carried out in an attenuated total internal reflection s...
متن کاملDetermination of refractive index, thickness, and the optical losses of thin films from prism-film coupling measurements.
We present a method of analysis of prism-film coupler spectroscopy based on the use of transfer matrix and genetic algorithm, which allows the simultaneous determination of refractive index, thickness, and optical losses of the measured layer.
