Figure 4-6 The experimental configuration of the model “Reflection and transmission of a multi-layer sample”.<br />

The sample reflectivity is defined as R = I ref / I inc , transmission is defined as<br />

T = I trans / I inc , where I inc is the intensity of the incident light, I ref - intensity of the reflected<br />

light and I trans - intensity of the transmitted light. The exact formulas for R and T are rather<br />

cumbersome; they can be found, for instance, in Ref. [14].<br />

The parameters of this model are described in Table 4-7. The number of layers is given<br />

by the number of rows in the “Lorentzians” table. Each row corresponds <strong>to</strong> a particular layer.<br />

Table 4-7 The parameters of the model “Reflection and transmission of a multi-layer sample”.<br />

An example of this of kind of model window is shown in Table 4-6. Here a two-layer<br />

system (film-substrate) is modeled. The <strong>to</strong>p layer (film) is described by the dielectric function<br />

from “Model2”; it has a thickness of 1.76e-6 cm (17.6 nm) and relative thickness spread of 1%.<br />

The substrate is described by the dielectric function from “Model3” and it is 0.057 cm (570<br />

micron) thick with a relative spread of 3%. Note that the film thickness is treated as a variable<br />

parameter (marked blue).<br />
