Equivalent layers: another way to look at them

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We describe the behavior of the equivalent refractive index (or Herpin index) and equivalent phase thickness in relation to the phase thicknesses of the layers in a dielectric stack. This relation is visualized by a diagram that provides insight into the existing solutions for given combinations of the Herpin index and the equivalent phase thickness. Furthermore, it can be used for the explanation of the occurrence of stop bands and of the dispersion of equivalent layer stacks.
