Determining the refractive index, absolute thickness and local slope of a thin transparent film using multi-wavelength and multi-incident-angle interference

Optics 2020-08-26 v1 Other Condensed Matter

Abstract

We describe a high-speed interferometric method, using multiple angles of incidence and multiple wavelengths, to measure the absolute thickness, tilt, the local angle between the surfaces, and the refractive index of a fluctuating transparent wedge. The method is well suited for biological, fluid and industrial applications.
