Light interacts with materials in a variety of ways; this article focuses on determination of refraction and absorption characterized by a material’s refractive index. We discuss some of the useful models for the frequency dependence of the refractive index, and practical approaches to calculating refractive indices of thin films and thick substrates. The efficiency of manufacturing of existing and successful creation of new devices of solid-state micro- and nanoelectronics largely depends on the level of development of the technology for manufacturing layers of various materials with a thickness of several nanometers to tens of micrometers. A high degree of perfection of layered structures and particularly structures based on dielectric and/or metallic films with nanometer thickness is needed for their successful application in micro-, nano-, acousto-, microwave and optoelectronics. It is impossible to achieve high degree of perfection without the use of high-precision methods of measuring electrophysical parameters of dielectric and semiconductor materials and structures, metallic films. We have developed the program “Multilayer”, which serves both to simulate the propagation of light through multilayer thin-film layered media, and to determine the dielectric (permittivity tensor of anisotropic films) and geometric (physical and optical thicknesses of the film) parameters of various thin-film coatings. The base mathematical models applied for the description of the light wave propagation through a homogeneous optical medium and for the determination of the optical characteristics of thin layers of optical materials based on the results of light intensity measurements are described. The main mathematical formalism employed in the program is based on solving the Maxwell’s equations for propagation of light through anisotropic stratified media. The algorithm uses the Berreman matrices of order |
