As seen in Figure 1, there is no modification of absorption spectra in a transparent region from 500 nm to 600nm despite the changes in optical path length as a function of incident angles, indicating that the contribution of multiple reflection can be neglected in the present spectroscopic analysis. Absorbances at various θm were corrected by taking into account both of θm and a refractive index of the polymer (n = 1.64).
