Abstract
The optical performance of an ideal thin film can be represented by a single point on a triangular coordinate graph because the sum of the reflectance, transmittance, and absorption is unity. Several examples are presented to show how the triangular coordinate graph provides a useful perspective on the interplay between the optical properties and performance of a semitransparent metal film.
