N2  - As  optical  applications  are  expanding,  the  need  for  new  material  structures  increases and one of these is nanoscale composite material such as multilayer thin film. To  develop  these  structures,  optical  modeling  and  simulation  is  applied. This  helps  us  to  understand  the  optical  properties,  such  as  surface  plasmon  resonance, reflectance,  transmittance, absorbance spectrum, analyze optical  phenomena, analyze optical losses etc. From  that,  we  can  predict  and  suggest  the  model  of  multilayer  thin  film  in  which  the  number  of  layers  and  thickness  of  each  of  layer  satisfy  the  specific  application,  such  as  optical filters, photonic bandgap applications, transparent conducting oxides etc.  In our lab, we have researched on multilayer thin films constructed with charged  nanoparticles  and  oppositely  charged  polyelectrolytes.  In  this  work,  we  studied  optical  properties of these multilayer thin films and simulated the optical responses by making use  of  effective  medium  theories  which  are  usually  used   to  explain  optical  properties  of  nanocomposite materials. We have done optical simulation for these multilayer thin films  and studied their optical properties by fitting the  theory to the experimental results
