Control of polarization effects by internal antireflection

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Mouchart’s theory of the buffer layer is reformulated in terms of internal antireflection and extended to general dielectric/metallic media. The all-dielectric case is then studied in oblique incidence as a means of depolarizing partial reflectors. Several procedures are indicated for the construction of buffering stacks which, when coupled with germinal stacks, balance out their p and s reflections at the given level. Examples of depolarized half-mirrors are presented. A novel version of the Argand diagram for thin films in oblique incidence is introduced during the analysis.
