Optical Properties of Sol-Gel Nb2O5 Films with Tunable Porosity for Sensing Applications by Rosen Georgiev, Biliana Georgieva, Marina Vasileva, Petar Ivanov, Tsvetanka Babeva

“…The optical characterization of the films is carried out through reflectance spectra measurements of the films deposited on silicon substrates and theoretical modeling in order to obtain refractive index, extinction coefficient, and thickness of the films. The overall porosity of the films and the amount of adsorbed acetone vapors in the pores are quantified by means of Bruggeman effective medium approximation using already determined optical constants. …”
