The incident polarisation can be selected using the Pro-Optix software, which handles all aspects of the measurement and analysis process. Analysis of this spectra using the powerful Pro-Optix yielded the dispersion shown in Figure 2. A Cauchy model, just one of the dispersion algorithms available in the software, was used to describe the Polycarbonate. The excellent fit of the calculated model to the measured spectra, achieved by the analysis software can be seen overlaid on the measured data. The model used was saved in the software database for use in analysis of subsequent measurements on this sample.
Flexible thin film measurement instrument. The nkd-8000, is the most advanced design in our innovative range of desktop thin film measurement systems, purpose built for enhanced functionality and flexibility, to meet all your thin film analysis requirements – from research to production and quality control. Non-destructive determination of refractive index, extinction coefficient and film thickness measurement, of single or multi-layer thin films and substrates is achieved using the simultaneous measurement of Transmittance and Reflectance spectra. This capability is unique to the nkd range and guarantees photometric precision, unattainable with conventional spectrophotometers. Key features of the nkd thin film analysis systems, are the ability to capture spectra using polarised (s- and p-) or unpolarised light and at continuously varying angles of incidence, enabling thin, multilayer and complex films to be analysed with ease. The X Y mapping platform enables film thickness and refractive index profiling of entire substrates and scanning can be performed over a wide spectral range. Full data capture and thin film analysis takes only 15 minutes and the powerful Pro-Optix™ software makes the whole process of obtaining film thickness and dispersion for your coatings fast and simple. In fact, for a single layer of unknown poperties, the nkd can obtain the film thickness, refractive indices (dispersion) and absorption coefficient – from just one measurement! Transparent samples are handled with ease and are infact an advantage as they allow for the determination of absolute absorption (1-(T+R)). Transparent substrates require no roughening or blackening of the back surface - they are simply placed as manufactured on the sample stage. Metallic films are also catered for in the analysis with metal algorithms. A wide selection of accessories are available, making this the most flexible thin film analysis system available.

Thin Film measurement on your desk top. The nkd-7000 provides a unique, integrated desk top solution for all your thin film measurement needs. Non-destructive determination of refractive index (n), extinction coefficient (k) and film thickness measurement (d), of single and multi-layer thin films and substrates is achieved using the combined measurement of Transmittance and Reflectance - simultaneously. No sample preparation is required and samples are mounted on a horizontal x y platform for ease of handling and access. A range of sample platform options are available for use with thin, flexible substrates or thick, heavy slabs of material. We even have temperature-controlled and XY-stepping stages for automatic film thickness and index mapping of sample surfaces. Spectra for thin film analysis, may be measured using polarised (s- and p-) or unpolarised light, at one or three fixed angles of incidence and over a wide spectral range. These can be standard or user defined angles, (see the nkd-8000 for continuously variable angles of incidence). Full data capture and film analysis takes only 15 minutes and the powerful Pro-Optix™ control software makes the whole process of measuring film thickness and derermining optical properties fast and simple A wide selection of accessories are available, ensuring that there is no compromise in the collected spectra.
