its initial value at the interface. Figure 4.1 shows optical absorption depths as a function of wavelength for a variety of metals and semiconductors. The important thing to note from Fig.4.1 is that the absorption depths are short relative to bulk material dimensions. For instance, in the case of most metals undergoing UV illu-
