From Figure 4.4, itcan be seen that the peak at 500 nm corresponds to the thickness of the film.The resolution of the algorithm is given byMagresolution = [4.4]2 n∆The size of the FFT improves the resolution, while it increases the processingtime. Further, the spectral range of the data also affects the resolution. In thevisible range, 400 – 800 nm, with an index of refraction of 1.5 and taking 128 (2 7 )sample points of data and performing a 16384-point FFT (2 14 ), results in aresolution of 2 nm. This theoretical work was the proving ground for theembodiment used in the experiments. The implementation details are furtherdiscussed in chapter 6. This includes accounts of the hardware used, signalprocessing issues, and areas for improvement.w n57
