Supported Materials

The modeling was performed for the materials listed in the table below. We considered the wavelengths 0.45 micron (blue filter, the results can be applied to B and G filters) and 0.65 micron, i.e. R (red) filter. The table shows the values of the complex refractive index for both wavelengths and the references where the values have been taken from.

Each reference in the table below is a hyperlink to that paper. The table is reproduced from Ivanova et al. (2019).
