Study of the optical properties of titanium dioxide thin films

The bachelor thesis is focused on the acquirement of thin film layers optical properties characterisation methods, done on inject printed titanium dioxide layers deposed on soda lime glass. Its main emphasis was on spectroscopic ellipsometry that was used to determine the refractive indices and the extinction coefficients of the samples in range of wavelengths from 200 nm to 850 nm and layer thickness. This thesis also shows another options of thin film layers preparation and several other methods to characterise properties of samples, specifically optical microscopy, used to set sample boundary as rough, mechanical profilometry which defined thickness of layers in range of 80 nm for the most thin sample to 250 nm for the most thick sample, and UV-VIS spectroscopy
