Ellipsometric Characterization of Thin Films from Multicomponent Chalcogenide Glasses for Application in Modern Optical Devices

A review is given on the application of the reflectance ellipsometry for optical characterization of bulk materials and thin films with thickness between λ/20 and 2λ (at λ=632.8 nm). The knowledge of the optical constants (refractive index, n, and extinction coefficient, k) of thin films is of a gre...
