dc.description.abstractNotwithstanding the significant optical applicability of PAZO polymer films, there are no accurate data about their optical characteristics. To remedy this shortcoming, in this study three PAZO polymer thin films are characterized, with dissimilar thicknesses, on glass substrates using only one UV/VIS/NIR transmittance spectrum T(λ) per sample and an original hybrid dispersion model (HDM). HDM is based on the Tauc–Lorentz model, the new amorphous dispersion formula, the Tauc–Lorentz–Urbach model of Foldyna and the Tauc–Lorentz–Urbach model of Rodriguez. HDM with two oscillators is employed in characterizations of the PAZO polymer films in the range [300, 2500] nm, whereby the root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) of the fitted transmittance spectrum with respect to T(λ) does not exceed 1.6 × 10−3. Decreasing RMSD by 2.3% to 94.4% is demonstrated by employing HDM compared with the above mentioned four popular dispersion models, for each one of the studied films. HDM is applicable to amorphous films independent of their thickness as well as to cases of non-transparent substrate.
