Theory

Calculated reflectance of ATR-IR from complex refractive index

---

The experimental geometry is described by the two-layer model in the above Figure, where phase $i$ and phase $j$ represent the substrate and sample, respectively. The incident light in phase $i$ and transmitted light in phase $j$ are related by Snell's law

$n_{i}\sin \theta _{i}=n_{j}\sin \theta _{j}$
