Determination of Optical Properties of Advanced Materials through Angular UV-Vis-NIR Measurements

Advanced materials are increasingly finding uses in the worlds of wafers and photovoltaic materials.

As they are being developed, there is a need to understand their optical properties. How much light is being reflected/transmitted/adsorbed and how the polarization of light effects these values gives insight into the materials’ potential performance in devices. This talk will examine how angular measurements can be made through the use of a Cary 7000 and its UMA (Universal Measurement Accessory).
