Transfer Matrix Methods (TMM) Thin-Film TPV Optical Design

This tool gives you an output of reflectivity, absorptivity, and transmissivity as a function of wavelength. Allowing only NORMAL incidence.

[Beta Version] Disclaimer: This work is still in progress.

== Update 06/22/2021==

ALERT: Currently only allowing NORMAL incidence! i.e. your incident light is perpendicular to the layers! I'm in the process of debugging.

Please put the Materials folder in the same pathway or file folder as your other downloaded files. The geometry of the films are modeled as semi-infinite films. You can adjust layer composition and thicknesses. You can also add more materials for this program. This work is done together with Zach Berquist and Rachel Fetter at Lenert Research Group at University of Michigan Department of Chemical Engineering.
