SOME POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS OF CHROMATIC PARAMETERS TO THIN-FILM OPTICAL-CONSTANTS DETERMINATION

Computer simulation of colour parameters of single layer coatings, tra nsparent in the visible spectral region, is carried out with purpose o f film thickness d and optical dispersion n(lambda) determination. An approach for determination of characteristics of a transparent thin fi lm from transmitted light colour coordinates is proposed. The region i n which the proposed method is applicable is estimated from comparison between film characteristics obtained from the colour coordinates and envelope methods for RF deposited transparent BaTiO3 thin films.
