Abstract
We perform characterization of thin films and reverse engineering of multilayer coatings on the basis of multiangle spectral photometric data provided by a new advanced spectrophotometer accessory. Experimental samples of single thin films and multilayer coatings are produced by magnetron sputtering and electron-beam evaporation. Reflectance and transmittance data at two polarization states are measured at incidence angles from 7 to 40 deg. We demonstrate that multiangle reflectance and transmittance data provide reliable characterization and reverse-engineering results.
