Abstract
A suitable method to determine the optical constants of high index thin films is essential for developing high efficiency dielectric thin film devices in theuv region from 240 nm to 400 nm. A quick and accurate method is established to determine these constants. Using this method the optical losses, refractive index, absorption coefficient and extinction coefficient of ZrO2 films prepared by the method of reactive evaporation were evaluated in theuv region.
