Determination of the spectral-dependent refractive index of a single layer in a natural multilayer system: Comparison of different approaches

By means of heuristic optimization techniques, we estimate the unknown refractive index of one layer of a periodic natural multilayer system from far-field reflectance data. To take into account the dispersive characteristics of the material, we employ two different strategies. The first is based on...
