Techniques and Challenges for Characterizing Metal Thin Films with Applications in Photonics

The proliferation of laser technologies has profoundly increased the demand for high-quality optical thin films whose physical properties are tunable and well defined. Such films are frequently deposited in thicknesses much shorter than the wavelengths of visible light and consequently present chall...
