Thin-Film Design: Modulated Thickness and Other Stopband Design Methods

This text is written for thin-film designers and students with advanced knowledge of multilayer, optical thin-film coatings. It focuses specifically on coatings that havehigh reflectance performance requirements in more than one spectral wavelength band or region. Many advanced optical systems that employ optical thin-film coatings rely on the performance attributes of multiple spectral bands. Several new analytical design methods are presented in this text that produce multiple stopbands as wel…
