Abstract
For single-layer antireflection-coated (ARC) optical surfaces, the first five derivatives of reflectance with respect to angle of incidence for the and polarizations are zero at normal incidence, whereas the first three derivatives of differential transmission phase shift with respect to are also zero at . Consequently, ARC optical systems with numerical apertures of exhibit fourth- and sixth-order polarization aberrations owing to retardance and diattenuation, respectively. Results for ARC Ge and ZnS surfaces are presented to illustrate these effects.
