Abstract
Measurement of reflectance at normal incidence
and its fractional change
caused by a change of the angle of incidence from 0 to a small angle ϕ (ϕ ≲ 20°) permits explicit determination of both the refractive index n and extinction coefficient k of an isotropic absorbing medium. The medium of incidence (ambient) is assumed to have a known refractive index (e.g., =1 for vacuum or air), and the incident light is either p or s linearly polarized.
