Zusammenfassung:Methods and systems for determining optical properties for light transmitted mediums are provided. One method includes acquiring one or more measured values indicative of a reflectance for a material, acquiring one or more measured values indicative of a transmittance for the material, and determining a set of calculated values for an index of refraction coefficient and an extinction coefficient from the one or more measured values indicative of reflectance and transmittance, respectively. The method includes identifying a calculated value from the set of calculated values for the index of refraction coefficient and a calculated value from the set of calculated values for the extinction coefficient that are within a threshold determined by the difference between the one or more measured values indicative of the reflectance or transmittance and a predicted reflectance or transmittance, respectively. The method includes determining a reflectance and transmittance for the material using the calculated values.
