Abstract
The theory for frustrated total reflection has been developed for the case where the third medium is metallic of complex index. Using parallel polarized light a unique minimum in reflectance occurs at a definite film thickness. Experimental verification of the theory is made and indicates the theory applicable to the precise measurement of thin contact films existing between metallic and dielectric surfaces.
