References for thin film physics?

In summary, some commonly recommended textbooks for learning about thin film physics are "Thin Film Materials: Stress, Defect Formation and Surface Evolution" by L. B. Freund and S. Suresh, "Physics of Thin Films" by M. Francombe and J. Vossen, and "Thin-Film Deposition: Principles and Practice" by D. Smith. There are also open-access resources available for studying thin film physics, such as "Thin Film Physics" by A. K. Raychaudhuri, "Thin Film Growth Dynamics" by M. Hanke and E. Kaxiras, and "Introduction to Thin Film Processing" by J. D. Fitzgerlad and J. F. Wager.

Hi all,
I'm studying for the GRE test and I have noticed that sometimes questions about thin film appear.
Is there any reference where I can learn some basical knowledge about thin film reflection and refraction? I'm not looking for something deep. Just a general overview.

Thanks

How about your introductory textbook? Almost all of them have a short section, if not a chapter, on thin film optics.
