Abstract
We have developed a method conceptually different from ellipsometric techniques which allows the determination of the complex refractive index by simultaneously measuring the unpolarized normal-incidence reflectivity relative to the vacuum and another reference media such as diamond, GaAs, CdTe, etc. From these two quantities, the complex optical response can be directly obtained without Kramers–Kronig transformation. Due to its transparency and large refractive index from the far-infrared to the soft ultraviolet regions, diamond can be ideally used as a second reference over the whole optical spectrum. The experimental arrangement is rather simple compared to ellipsometry.
