The Excel graph below shows the inconsistencies of Germanium while the other graph shows the general flow of the constants. For this reason the "Warning" display is provided to inform you when you have fallen into this questionable range. However, Germanium is pulled straight from the Handbook of Optical Constants of Solids and is why there are several "jumps" in the excel plot as different reported research doesn't match up. The Silicon, Gallium Arsenide, and Indium Phosphide kappa values come from a linear interpolation of data found in Handbook of Optical Constants of Solids that is found here. I show you the graph found in the handbook along with the excel plots of the absorption coefficients that my arrays are based on so the user can quickly see if the calculated value makes sense. The Handbook of Optical Constants of Solids gathers data from different papers to list the kappa values along with the wavelengths consistency is not maintained. I do recognize that there are some fairly glaring contradictions when the increasing wavelengths switch from different reported research. That location is then used for a corresponding absorption array which was made by using this equation.
The entered wavelength is used to iterate through an array to find the closest wavelength that has a measured kappa value. Femtosecond transient absorption spectra revealed the ultrafast dynamics. Its absorption coefficient is substantially higher than other species at the wavelengths we are working with: ultraviolet and visible. How does this work? This calculator could be described as a simple lookup table. The optical limiting performance and possible damage threshold were investigated on Hemicyanine2. Using an optical technique based on the integrating sphere method, absorption coefficients.
