# This results must be taken with care. As the ellipsometry routine can only deal with coherent light, there might be
# strange oscillations related with intereference in thick layers, something that should not happen.
# Setting no_back_reflection=True (the default) should take care of most of this effects, but might add other unexpected
# ones.
