摘要
We present preliminary results on a program aimed at characterizing the optical (10 - 10000 Angstrom) properties of materials of potential usage in filters for soft X-ray detectors. In particular, we discuss a method that we have used to derive and model the refractive index n and the extinction coefficient k: of thin plastic film materials. The method is based on best fit estimates of the parameters of a quanto-mechanical model describing le. The value of n is then evaluated using the Kramers-Kronig relationship. This method has provided accurate values of previously unknown optical constants of polyimide and lexan allowing to model the transmission of multilayer filters such as the aluminized polyimide filters of the HRC on board Chandra X-ray Observatory.
