Experiments in Thin Film Optimization Procedures

Not Accessible

Abstract

In broad terms, optimization (minimization of a given starting function) procedures can be divided into two categories: those requiring derivatives and those requiring only the computation of the function to be minimized.1 For optical thin films, it appears that damped least squares (DLS) is the most widely used method requiring derivatives and simplex is the most popular non-derivative method.
