Waveguide Spectroscopy of Thin Films

In this book a new concept of nonlinear optical properties of thin films are presented. Fourier spectroscopy spectroscopy of the light beam in the thin-film structures. Measurement of the absorption, refractive index and thickness of the dielectric, semiconductor or metallic films are considered.
This book is highly recommended for students in the fields of integrated film.

· There are new techniques of measurement of thin-film parameters stated
