Abstract: This study describes the estimation of dielectric response functions for NIR-SWIR absorbing dyes by inverse analysis of diffuse reflectance. The inverse analysis procedure is based on the Kramers–Kronig relations, the Kubelka–Munk model of diffuse reflectance, and the background subtraction of substrate spectra. The calculated response functions provide estimates of the dielectric response characteristics for NIR-SWIR absorbing dyes, as well as their sensitivity to material-background environments. This study demonstrates that Kramers–Kronig analysis can be adopted for calculating estimates of dielectric functions, given any reasonable estimate of absorbance. Specifically, that Kramers–Kronig analysis provides filtering of dielectric response structure with respect to spectrum artifacts due to inverse-analysis and spectroscopic-measurement procedures. This can significantly reduce the experimentation necessary to achieve desired dielectric response characteristics for NIR-SWIR dye and substrate combinations. Furthermore, these calculated response functions can support the construction of approximate effective medium models capable of estimating reflectance features for dyed fabrics.
