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).[2]
The following paper deals with conventional curve-fitting of the transmittance data, an approach that depends on the availability of proper dispersion formulas to be inserted in the program.
