Antireflection of an absorbing substrate by an absorbing thin film at normal incidence

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

An absorbing substrate of complex refractive index n2jk2 at wavelength λ can be coated by an absorbing thin film of complex refractive index n1jk1 and thickness d to achieve zero reflection at normal incidence. For given n2,k2 multiple solutions (n1,k1,d/λ) are found that correspond to infinitely many distinct antireflection layers. This is demonstrated for a Si substrate at two wavelengths (6328 and 4420 Å). The response of these absorbing antireflection layers to changes of the angle of incidence from 0 to 45° and to changes of thickness of ±10% is also determined and compared to the limting case of a noabsorbing antireflection layer.
