System of Plane-Parallel Layers Matrix Method

SYSTEM OF PLANE-PARALLEL LAYERS MATRIX METHOD 

To simulate the IR spectra of stratified media containing an arbitrary number of layers, there exist two approaches—the application of recursion relationships 

Let there be a general system of N isotropic layers with different optical properties (described by the complex refractive indices hj) and of arbitrary thicknesses dj (Fig. 1.14). The recursion relationship of the corresponding reflectance that is conducive to computer programming has been obtained in [144]. In the case (pi = 0,

For analysis of six-layer silicon on oxide films, Leng et al. [145] applied the following elegant regression formula
