Measuring refractive index and thickness of thin films: a new technique

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Properties of a leaky quasi-waveguide formed by a thin film of refractive index smaller than the substrate are described. By exciting these leaky waves through the substrate, we have demonstrated a convenient and accurate method of measuring both the refractive index and thickness of thin films. Experimental results are given for polystyrene, with a demonstrated accuracy comparable with both that of prism coupling into a waveguiding film and with ellipsometry.
