| Rough gold base layer and dielectric top layer with varying IOR (1.0-3.0) |
Attenuation
The top layer is considered for both the outgoing and incoming rays, meaning that the ray is attenuated by the top layer twice: once when it leaves and once when it exits. This is the case for both fresnel attenuation at the interface, and for absorption through the thickness of the layer.
