It allows the dispersive properties of the layer and substrate to be studied both far from and in the vicinity of the resonant wavelengths. The dispersive properties of layers of pure and Al-doped ZnO on glass substrates are investigated using it. It is shown that doping shifts the absorption band maximum to shorter wavelength and decreases the refractive index of the material. The applicability limits of known approximate expressions for determining the spectral dependence of the absorption coeffi cient of a layer from spectrophotometric data are estimated.

The general case of s-polarized light impinging obliquely on a weakly absorbing thin film formed on an absorbing substrate is discussed. Rather simple analytical expressions are derived which can easily be used in program realization on computers for calculating errors. On the basis of the error analysis, a procedure for determining the optical constants and thickness of thin films is proposed, which allows one to reach the maximum accuracy in solving the inverse problem of spectrophotometry. The optical constants and the thicknesses of the films of perylenetetracarboxylic acid and 2-[4-(4-aminophenyl)phenyliminomethyl]phenol formed on silicon substrates are found by the developed technique in the spectral range 550–900 nm.

In an absorbing matrix medium this leads both to an increase in the fraction of energy absorbed by the matrix material and to a substantial transformation in its spectral distribution. This is illustrated for the case of copper phthalocyanine with silver nanoparticles. By choosing the size of the introduced plasmon nanoparticles it is possible to enhance the absorption in the visible for the materials used in solar cells and thereby increase their energy efficiency.

Research paper thumbnail of IR Absorption Anisotropy of Films of Copper Phthalocyanine and Composites Based on It in the Region of γ-(CH) Oscillations

For copper phthalocyanine films, an intense absorption band in the region of 729 cm−1, which appears at oblique incidence of linearly polarized radiation with oscillations lying in the incidence plane, has been established. Its origin is associated with the features of the supermolecular architecture of polycrystalline films particular, with the character of “packing” of copper phthalocyanine microcrystallites.

This occurs in the CuPc absorption bands, as well as in the weak absorption region of CuPc, where, owing to surface plasmon resonance, an additional absorption band arises for nanoparticles of all three materials. For Ag nanoparticles, the increase in absorption is twice as high as for Cu and Au nanoparticles; for these it differs inconsiderably.

The main refractive indices were measured in the visible spectral range and the absorption and transmission spectra of samples of these crystals were studied. The changes in the refractive indices were in the region of the absorption bands with the use of the Kramers-Kronig relation. Conoscopic pictures of this crystal in the regions of transparency and absorption bands were calculated and are presented.

The hollow cone of ECR is the cone of normals inside a crystal. Due to a birefringence, two sets of isonormal waves are related to the cone. One set forms a filament of rays directed along the biradial, and the other set generates the hollow cone of rays. The apex angle of the cone is nearly twice as large as that of the cone of normals and its axis is close to the direction of the biradial. After leaving the exit facet of a crystal plate, the ray filament spreads into a cone again, and the ray cone gives rise to a second outer cone so that two nonconcentric rings appear at a screen behind the plate. Polarization states at the neighbouring points of the rings lying on one radius are mutually perpendicular. Numerical calculations were performed for crystals with moderate and large optical anisotropy, namely KGd(WO 4) 2 , ammonium oxalate, L-N-(5-Nitro-2-peridyl) leucinol and sulfur. Dispersion of the angle of ECR, the apex angle of the cone of incident (from air) waves and the ray cone is calculated for three tungstate crystals, KGd(WO 4) 2 , KLu(WO 4) 2 , and KY(WO 4) 2 .

The relations obtained are expressed in terms of the Fresnel reflection and transmission coefficients for interfaces between media, which for oblique incidence are different for s and p polarization of the incident light. The energy absorbed by an active layer of the cell varies very slightly with the angle of incidence if the maximum in the Q distribution is located at a heterojunction. We carried out a numerical analysis for a five-layer cell based on a copper phthalocyanine-fullerene heterojunction.

It varies slightly as the thicknesses of the layers in the cell change. Interference of light affects only the magnitude of these maxima. For a cell based on a CuPc (copper phthalocyanine)-C 60 (fullerene) heterojunction, the G maxima are located at 640 nm, 720 nm (absorption in CuPc) and close to 495 nm (absorption in C 60). The photovoltaic cell can be optimized using the ratio of the magnitudes of these maxima and their variations as layer thicknesses are varied and the exciton diffusion length is taken into account.

Anisotropy of absorption bands in the region 700-900 cm-1 is detected. Absorption bands in the subregions 728-736 and 806-810 cm-1 are shown to be of triplet nature with orthogonally oriented dipole moments within the triplet.

Direct measurements are accompanied by modeling of the dn/dT versus light wavelength dependence, yielding analytic thermo-optic dispersion formulae for the spectral range of 0.4–1.6 μm. At the wavelength of 1030 nm, dn o/dT = 3.5 and dn e/dT = 6.0 [10−6 K−1]. Sellmeier formulas are evaluated for the principal refractive indices n o and n e. The thermal coefficients of the optical path are determined for the principal crystal cuts of Yb:YAl3(BO3)4, a-cut and c-cut, and light polarizations, π or σ. Finally, thermal lens parameters are evaluated for Yb:YAl3(BO3)4 crystals on the basis of measured material parameters.
