| contents | Historically, spectroscopic techniques have been essential for studying the optical properties of thin solid films. However, existing formulae for both normal transmission and reflection spectroscopy often rely on simplified theoretical assumptions, which may not accurately align with real-world conditions. For instance, it is common to assume (1) that the thin solid layers are deposited on completely transparent thick substrates and (2) that the film surface forms a specular plane with a relatively small wedge angle. While recent studies have addressed these assumptions separately, this work presents an integrated framework that eliminates both assumptions simultaneously. In addition, the current work presents a deep review of various formulae from the literature, each with their corresponding levels of complexity. Our review analysis highlights a critical trade-off between computational complexity and expression accuracy, where the newly developed formulae offer enhanced accuracy at the expense of increased computational time. Our user-friendly code, which includes several classical transmittance and reflectance formulae from the literature and our newly proposed expressions, is publicly available in both Python and Matlab at this link. |
