Abstract
For the optical analysis of heterogeneous materials the microtopology of the samples plays an important role. In the long wavelength limit (i.e. light wavelengths much larger than the typical size of the inhomogeneities) effective medium theories give the desired connection between the component properties and the average ‘effective’ optical behaviour. On the basis of the general Bergman representation for effective dielectric functions we discuss simple and advanced effective medium concepts and show how they can successfully be used in optical spectroscopy.
