[mems-talk] Absorbance measurement of multi-layer structures

[D. Zhou]

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.

Cheers,
