Thin-film Interference

چکیده
Although much thinner than conventional optical interference coatings, nanometer-thick films made of optically absorbing materials can display strong interference effects. This new class of coatings shows promise for coloring and labeling, optical filters, tunable absorbers and emitters, and energy harvesting.

Optical constant of CoFeB thin film measured with interference enhancement method
Optical constants (n and k) of Co20Fe60B20 (CoFeB) thin films (2~40nm) are measured by using interference enhancement method with spectroscopic ellipsometry in the wavelength range of 270~1600nm. The effects of film thickness, protection layer and annealing process on the optical constant of CoFeB film are investigated. In the range of 40~10nm, both n and k decrease with the decrease of thickne...
متن کاملA method for measuring the complex refractive index and thickness of a thin metal film
ABSTRACT A circularly polarized heterodyne light beam is incident on a thin metal film, causing successive reflections and refractions to occur at the two sides of the thin film. The phase difference between pand s-polarizations of the multiple-beam interference signal can be measured accurately with an analyzer and heterodyne interferometry. The phase difference depends on the azimuth angle of...
متن کاملInterference effects in the sum frequency generation spectra of thin organic films. I. Theoretical modeling and simulation.
A general theoretical calculation is described for predicting the interference effect in the sum frequency generation (SFG) spectra from a model thin-film system as a function of film thickness. The calculations were carried out for a three-layer thin film consisting of an organic monolayer, a dielectric thin film of variable thickness, and a gold substrate. This system comprises two sources of...

متن کاملWhite-light interference microscopy: effects of multiple reflections within a surface film.
The effects of the presence of a transparent thin film on a test surface in white-light interferometric surface profiling are investigated. An expression is obtained for the output intensity variations in a Michelson interferometer which includes the effect of multiple reflections within the thin film. The number of reflections that need to be considered to obtain good convergence to the correc...
