Using thin films of dielectric materials in optical coatings have long been common practice in the glass and optics industries. For example, Bragg mirrors in laser cavities are formed using ...

Schematic of a grazing incidence small and wide angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS/GIWAXS) experimental setup showing the incident (αi) and the scattered angles along the horizontal (2θf) and vertical (αf ...

One of the major types of materials analyzed using optical spectroscopy is thin films. Unlike some thin films that are self-supporting, ultra thin films are deposited on a substrate. These ultra thin ...
