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

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.
