Abstract
Optical properties of a material change or affect the characteristics of light passing through it by modifying its propagation vector or intensity. Two of the most important optical parameters are the refractive index and the extinction coefficient, which are generically called optical constants, although some authors include other optical coefficients within this terminology. This chapter presents the refractive index and extinction coefficient in detail, along with some common dispersion relations. It presents various common dispersion relationships such as the Cauchy, Sellmeier, Wemple–DiDomenico dispersion relations, and explains the determination of the optical constants of a material in thin film form using the popular Swanepoel technique. The latter technique is based on the interference of waves in the thin film, and uses the maxima and minima in the transmittance spectrum to extract the dispersion relation for refractive index and extinction coefficient. The chapter also considers the transmittance of light through a thick semitransparent plate.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
