Retrieval of linear optical functions from finite range spectra.
There are many experimental situations in which infrared reflectivity spectra can be acquired only over a limited spectral range. It is therefore necessary to find computing procedures that allow the efficient analysis of such data. In this paper, we propose a new procedure labeled constrained finite range correction (CFRC) that can be advantageously substituted to multiply subtractive Kramers-Kronig relations. The constrained finite range correction is able to produce realistic results even when very little supplementary information is available. For semitransparent crystals, the hypothesis of the phase spectrum positiveness alone is often sufficient to compute satisfactory approximations of the optical functions. The efficiency of the new method is shown through the analysis of several synthetic and experimental spectra.
