Abstract:
The extraction efficiency of evanescent light from ZnO nanolayers and their thickness profiles in the range of (1-105) nm was evaluated by a new microscopy technique, differential evanescent light intensity imaging method. It is based on capturing the evanescent light scattered by the layer of the material deposited on glass substrates. The analyzed ZnO films were obtained by pulsed laser deposition at 27°C and 100°C, using a nanosecond UV laser source.
