Reflectivity-E

Reflectivity-E (RE) represents the fraction of the incident radiation that is reflected at the interface of a sample. Its expression does not take into account for multiple reflections or interference effects and depends only on the dielectric functions of the incident medium Ei and of the material Eo.
Function signature : Reflectivity-E(x,Ei,Eo)


   Formula


Reflectivity-N

Reflectivity-N (RN) represents the fraction of the incident radiation that is reflected at the interface of a sample. Its expression does not take into account for multiple reflections or interference effects and depends only on the complex refractive indexes of the incident medium Ni and of the material No.
Function signature : Reflectivity-N(x,Ni,No)


   Formula



Reflectance-E

Reflectance-E (RE) represents the fraction of the incident radiation that is reflected by a sample with a plate shape. Its expression take into account for multiple reflections (no interference effects) and depends on the dielectric functions of the incident medium Ei, those of the material Eo and the thickness d of the sample.
Function signature : Reflectance-E(x,Ei,Eo,Thickness)


Units


The spectral dependance must be expressed in wave numbers (cm-1) and the thickness in (cm).



   Formula
