Abstract
The possibility of determination of index changes at normal direction in thin dielectric films from air reflectance spectra has been studied. The modification of the graphic envelopes of normal reflectance spectra for faster calculations of the index inhomogeneity of thin films is presented. Obtained results are used for studies of the influence of the substrate temperature and starting evaporation material on the index inhomogeneity of titanium dioxide films.
