Optical properties of selenium

There are several approaches to analyze transmittance data of selenium films, from which one can extract their optical constants and other related topics.^[1]

However, the algebraic method of Swanepoel seems to be trustful and need no dispersion relations in prior, but is limited to transmittance spectra that display a number of peaks (maxima and minima).
