Dear all, I am now working on the design and characterisation of multi-layer structures for efficient mid- or far-infrared radiation absorbers. I not sure how to measure the absorption of the fabricated structure, for example, a metal/Si/metal sandwich structure. In our group we can only conduct transmission measurement. So how can we extract absorbance from the transmission data? Please give me some hints if you have any experience in this. Thanks very much.
