Abstract

It is shown that the air-film material reflectance coefficient, and that for the film material- substrate, can be restored from envelopes of the interference pattern in reflectance spectra. Doing so for oblique incidence of light and for two of its polarizations, optical parameters of an absorbing film may be determined without any film dispersion assumptions. Film thickness h is calculated then analytically. Knowing h, the film absorption coefficient can be obtained with high accuracy. Numerical calculations are given to illustrate the method application.
