Window thickness index

Changes in the composition of the solution in the thin layer cavity can be estimated in the order of 20% for the cases described in Sec. 4.3. For this condition it was assumed that the real part of the refraction index remains constant. AR/R was calculated as a function of the thickness of the thin layer of solution between electrode and IR window. The optical parameters (refractive index and absorption coefficient k ) used for the simmulation were Wwindow = 1 -4 solution = 1 -29, solution = 0-0348 Umetai = 8-9, /tmetai = 46. The results for two different wavelengths and two angles of incidence are shown in Fig. 12. 

In an interference filter, a transparent dielectric spacing material separates two partially reflective windows. This conformation forms a Fabry-Perot filter, allowing a specific set of wavelengths to pass. The outer windows are constructed of materials with higher refractive index than the center spacer, which determines the central wavelength via its thickness. The equation describing the central wavelength is...

It should be noted that interference fringes are ordinarily not seen when a cell is filled with liquid because the refractive index of most liquids approaches that of the window material and reflection is minimized (Hqua-lion 6-1.5). On the other hand, interference can Ise observed between 28(K) and 2(KI0 cm in Figure 16-1, I fere, the sample is a sheet of polystyrene, w iich has a retractive index considerably different from that of air. For this reason, significant rcdeclion occurs at the two interfaces of the sheet. F.qualion 17-2 is often used to calculate the thickness of thin polymer films.

The analysis solves the fundamental heat propagation equations using a two-dimensional computational model in which values of the radial and axial variations of the temperature and the refractive index are calculated. The calculated temperature gradients for the two cases are shown in Fig. 18. Figure 19 shows the radial dependence of the average (across the thickness) temperature. The temperature in CVD diamond shows a maximum variation (center to edge) of 3.4°C compared to 23.4°C for the ZnSe case. The temperature variations over the effective diameter of the beam are 1.7°C and 12.4°C for the CVD diamond and ZnSe windows respectively. 

UVA S/NIR Spectroscopy. In previous work witii ZnS c-s particles, we observed oscillations in tire UV/WS spectrum caused by interference patterns between the shell and core materials. (11) The phenomenon is a result of the difference in refi active index between the two layers. Such behavior is predicted by Mie light-scattering theory ch can be used to calculate shell thickness and refiactive index from UVA S data. (22) Oscillations increase in anplitude and the transmission window undergoes a red shift as these properties increase in magnitude. 

The windows of the absorption cell with thickness d also show a small absorption and a pressure-induced birefringence from the atmospheric pressure on one side and vacuum on the other side. Their index of refraction and their absorption coefficient a can be expressed by the complex quantity... 

On the assumption that the film formed on the sapphire window has the density and optical properties known for the coexisting liquid, one can employ the theory of the reflectance of thin absorbing slabs (Beming, 1963) to obtain the layer thicknesses from the reflectivity data (Yao and Hensel, 1996). The density dependence of the refractive index n of mercury vapor was determined from reflectivity data at temperatures far above T, or below T. A selection of wetting layer thicknesses estimated in this way are displayed in the inset of Fig. 6.9.
