Method<br />

• Assume some start<strong>in</strong>g <strong>optical</strong> t<strong>hi</strong>ckness<br />

• Calculate l S from <strong>the</strong> maximum <strong>of</strong> observed pr<strong>of</strong>ile<br />

• Among certa<strong>in</strong> number <strong>of</strong> values for τ, f<strong>in</strong>d one<br />

w<strong>hi</strong>ch fits best to our observed pr<strong>of</strong>ile<br />

• Make that value <strong>of</strong> τ new value <strong>of</strong> <strong>optical</strong><br />

t<strong>hi</strong>ckness<br />

• Repeat process until convergence
