Refractive index and extinction coefficient of thin film materials

ID: refractive-index-and-extinction-coefficient-of-thin-film-materials

The refractive index and extinction coefficient are two important optical properties of materials, particularly in the context of thin films. Here's a detailed look at both: ### Refractive Index (\(n\)) The refractive index is a dimensionless number that describes how light propagates through a medium. It quantifies the bending of light as it passes from one medium to another.
