Journal ArticleDOI
Electric Fields Produced by the Propagation of Plane Coherent Electromagnetic Radiation in a Stratified Medium
TL;DR: In this article, the mean square electric fields induced by plane electromagnetic radiation in a two-phase, three-phase and N-phase stratified medium are derived, and the energy absorption process is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expanded formulas for attenuated total reflection and the derivation of absorption rules for single and multiple ATR spectrometer cells
TL;DR: In this article, a formula for reflectivities under conditions of attenuated total reflection (ATR ) is expanded to fourth power in attenuation index, κ from these expansions, absorption rules are derived for single and multiple ATR spectrometer cells Equations are given for all types of polarization.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the determination of optical constants by a two-angle internal reflection method
Journal ArticleDOI
reflection spectroscopy of optical coatings
TL;DR: In this paper, Poynting's theorem for radiation absorption is used to study small energy losses in optical coatings, and linearized equations are derived for these low-loss cases, and experimental setups for maximum sensitivity are discussed.
Book ChapterDOI
Spectroscopic Observation of an Electrochemical Reaction by Means of Internal Reflection
TL;DR: Hansen and Osteryoung as mentioned in this paper showed that spectra of the region close to the electrode can be taken through a thin metal electrode, which was used to study electrochemical reactions in situ.
