In this manuscript, we report the results of optical properties of SnS thinfilms, deposited on FTO coated glass substrates at room temperature by thermalevaporation technique. In addition, the effect of film thickness on the opticalbehavior of FTO/SnS is analyzed and obtained results are compared with data ofSnS films grown on glass and ITO substrates. Our study indicates that theproperties of SnS film are independent of the substrate material. Further, theinfluence of the film thickness on the other optical parameters including,linear and third order nonlinear optical constants and dispersion parametershave also been investigated using the transmission, reflection, and absorptionspectra. It is found that the optical band gap decreases from 2.07 to 1.30 eVwith increase in SnS film thickness, whereas the refractive index increaseswith increasing thickness. Additionally, the oscillator energy, and thedispersion energy are estimated using WempleDiDomenico approach. The dispersionenergies are in the range of 7.20 to 4.59 eV, while the oscillator energies ofthe thin films are in the range of 5.49 to 2.24 eV. Moreover, the nonlinearrefractive index, and optical susceptibility are calculated by using theempirical relation of Tichy and Ticha. The volume of data suggests opticalproperties of SnS thin films are strongly dependent on film thickness.
