molybdenum thin films with 50 and 150 nm thicknesses were deposited on silicon substrates, using dc magnetron sputtering system, then post-annealed at different temperatures (200, 325, 450, 575 and 700°c) with flow oxygen at 200 sccm (standard cubic centimeter per minute). the crystallographic structure of the films was obtained by means of x-ray diffraction (xrd) analysis. an atomic force micr...

For the first time Rigorous Coupled Wave Analysis (RCWA) has been applied to the analysis of the transmittance spectra for the determination of critical dimension (CD) of phase-shift photomasks. The use of transmittance spectra proved to be instrumental in improving the sensitivity of the measurement to minor (sub-nanometer) changes in the width of the trench. We present a novel unique metrolog...

Single crystals of nonlinear optical material bis (guanidinium) hydrogen phosphate monohydrate (G2HP) belonging to non centrosymmetric space group P 21c were successfully grown by the slow evaporation method. Optical transmittance and second harmonic generation of the grown crystals have been studied by UV-vis-NIR spectrum and Kurtz powder technique respectively. The transmittance of G2HP cryst...

A resonant-cavity-enhanced photodiode with broad filter transmittance and high quantum efficiency was numerically designed and analyzed, fabricated, and validated experimentally. We show theoretically that the quantum-efficiency spectrum broadens because of anomalous dispersion of the reflection phase of a mirror in the device and describe conditions that allow maximal flatness of the transmitt...

The color of prints is mainly determined by the light absorption of the inks deposited on top of paper. In order to predict the reflectance spectrum of prints, we use a spectral prediction model in which each ink is characterized by its spectral transmittance. In the present paper, we consider two classical reflectance prediction models: the Clapper-Yule model and the Williams-Clapper model. Th...

1) the Malkmus band model based on HITRAN 92 database: HITRAN 96 and HITRAN 99 are now available with more accurate molecular line parameters. Also ATREM employs the multiplication rule to handle transmittance in spectral regions where multiple gas absorption is present. This results in less accurate transmittance calculation in these regions, e.g., at 2.0μm where both H2O and CO2 strongly abso...

Graphene oxide (GO) emerges as a functional material in optoelectronic devices due to its broad spectrum response and abundant optical properties. In this article, it is demonstrated that the change of optical transmittance amplitude for monolayer GO (mGO) could be up to 24.8% by an external electric field. The frequency harmonics for transmittance spectra are analyzed by use of Fast Fourier Tr...

SOLTRAN is a flexible computer model for the direct solar beam intensity spectrum at the earth's surface. It has been derived by combining the extra-terrestrial solar spectrum with the atmospheric transmittance spectrum. Application of SOLTRAN to the calculation of the potential efficiency of photovoltaic cells demonstrates the effect of atmospheric absorption bands. These bands prevent unequiv...
