Abstract:
Precision measurement of optical characteristics of serially produced indium phosphide wafers, including thickness, refractive indices of the substrate and transition layers, absorption of the transition layer, was performed. The measurements were carried out using the method îf invariants at a light wavelength of 1549.14 nm. A detailed analysis of the target function revealed the presence of regular regions of localization of the target function values – pockets. The width of the pockets, the period, the relationship with the parameters determining the number of minima of the angular distributions of the transmission coefficients were determined. Confidence intervals of the measured values of the optical parameters were calculated using indium phosphide as an example.
Keywords:classical optics, interferometry, refractive index, Fabry–Perot interferometer, method of invariants.
