Ouvrage 0-471-82866-1 : OPTICAL WAVES IN LAYERED MEDIA
Presents a clear picture of the propagation of optical waves in layered media and teaches the reader how to design and analyze optical devices using such media. Starting from the simplest case of plane wave propagation in homogeneous media, the author introduces a new matrix method for studying the optical properties of multilayer structures which consist of isotropic materials. He then describes propagation in anisotropic layered media and in inhomogeneous layers, guided waves, the coupling of modes, and the optical properties of superlattices and quantum wells. Materials covered include dielectrics, crystals, and absorbing media such as metals and semiconductors. Many applications are described, including spectral filters, Bragg relectors, Fabry-Perot etalons, antireflection coatings, ellipsometry, gradient index imaging rods, birefringent filters, waveguide couplers, and x-ray mirrors and oscillators.
