Effective-substrate theory for optical reflection from a layered substrate

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We show that reflection of a monochromatic light from a semi-infinite medium covered with a stack of layered media is equivalent to that from an effective “semi-infinite medium” characterized by two distinct optical dielectric constants for the s- and p-polarized components, respectively. Such an effective-substrate approach simplifies the analysis of ellipsometry measurements of a wide range of surface-bound processes including thin-film growth and surface-bound reactions.
