deterination of refractive index and extinction coefficient of solar cell absorbing layer
Please use spectroscopic ellipsometry.
You may find a method using UV-VIS spectrophotometer to do simple modelling more practical.
You could make thicker absorber films to measure the interference fringes for refractive index, and thinner films to get an extinction coefficient.
The technique is mentioned in the following publication.
