Abstract

Three different examples for characterizing parallel-sided specimens with optical techniques are given; spectral emittance of an InAs specimen; AIRS (Angle of Incidence Reflectance Spectrometry) analysis of a III-V quaternary; calculations for AIRS measurerments on a silicon-like substrate having a relatively thick layer with a larger refractive index. Complete formulas ,along with appropriate approximations, are given. Starting with Maxwell's Equations, both the characteristic and Fresnel matrices are developed for the abrupt interface and homogeneous cases followed by indicated steps leading to the practical formulas. Also included is a discussion of dispersion and its relationship to the simultaneity of the duality of electro-magnetic radiation.
