A criterion for selecting the best ranges for measuring the reflectivity of a prism coupler, based on minimizing the error in reconstructing the parameters of thin films using the least square method, is pro posed. The effectiveness of the criterion is demonstrated by solving the inverse optical problem for a SiO x film deposited on a silicon substrate as an example.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
