Abstract
A review of recent results on the complex refractive index determination of oriented poly(p-phenylene-vinylene) (PPV) by polarized near-normal-inciden ce reflectance, transmittance and ellipsometry measurements is presented. I n particular, the new experimental data obtained for highly stretch-oriente d films of PPV and the results of correlated quantum-chemical calculations on the same polymer will be reported and discussed with the purpose of clar ify the controversial assignment of the electronic transitions of PPV and i ts derivatives.
