    Experimental results for a single measurement of 500 nm SiO2 coating. (a) Reflectance spectrum F(k), Fref(k), and Fp(k). (b) Comparison of measured reflectance R(k) and theoretical model. (c) Normalized sum of squared errors for reflectance fitting between the experimental result and theoretical model at different values of input thickness. (d) Detailed view of (c) showing the minimum sum of squared errors.
