Description The algorithm for the determination of optical constants of a weakly absorbing thin film from the envelope method has been modified to minimize the error in the estimated values of extinction coefficient (k) as a function of wavelength. The refinement procedure is based on an extension of interference order adjustment method used for improving the estimated values of film thickness d and wavelength-dependent refractive index n from the envelope method. The proposed modification when applied to a hypothetical as well as an experimental film is found to work well over a wide spectral region. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
