Abstract
Wavelength dependencies of refractive indices of thin film materials differ for various deposition conditions, and it is practically impossible to attribute a single refractive index wavelength dependence to any typical thin film material. Besides objective reasons, differences in the optical parameters of thin films may also be connected with nonadequate choices of models and algorithms used for the processing of measurement data. The main goal of this paper is to present reliable wavelength dependencies of refractive indices of the most widely used slightly absorbing oxide thin film materials. These dependencies can be used by other researchers for comparison and verification of their own characterization results.
