The OPTICAL PROPERTIES DASHBOARD contains two very useful tools, OptProp and Sumrule.

OptProp

OptProp changes pairs of optical properties of materials (i.e. Real/Imaginary dielectric constants) into other pairs of optical properties.

Sumrule

Creates a spectrum of the effective number of electrons per molecule contributing to the optical transitions in the energy range up to Eo, starting from either the Imaginary dielectric constant or the Real interbace transition strength.

f sum rules for

f, index sum rules for

Bandgap

An historical program. I don’t think it works.

Lorentz

Synthesizes e1, e2, and n,k, and reflectance, for any number of lorenztian oscillators. Provides test data for KK and other programs.

Critpt

Performs a least-squares fit of a Critical Point model to (a) Real+Imag Interband Transition Strengths, or (b) Real+Imag Dielectric Constant, or (c) 2nd derivative of Dielectric Constant. Fits a complex function y(x) = C - A*(exp(i*phi))*((x-E)/gamma+i)^n, where C is a baseline constant, and n defines the Critical Point type: n=1/2 for 3D, 0 for 2D, -1/2 for 1D, -1 for Exciton.

Fresnel

Using reflectance and transmittance data which display fringes, and film thicknesses, Fresnel calculates the single-surface reflectance and absorption coefficient for the thin film material.

Fresnel capability includes coherent and incoherent calculations of single surface reflectance and absorption coefficient of thin films. Uses Transmittance spectrum + Reflectance spectrum + film thickness. Incoherent substrate allowed.

Miefit

Fits spectral data using Mie scattering from homogeneous spheres.

Kmunk

Kubelka-Munk processing of diffuse reflectance + transmittance spectra.
