This consultant covers the rules and functions of assorted important graphical instruments and techniques for optical coating layout, together with the reflectance diagram, admittance diagram, and triangle diagram. those instruments provide perception into how optical coatings functionality and the way they may be designed to fulfill given specifications. proven are how unavailable indices could be approximated, the foundation of excellent antireflection coating layout, and the sensible approximation of inhomogeneous index profiles.

Example text

It has been found that any more than the minimum number of layers increases the average reflectance. For smaller bandwidths, designs tend to require a number of layers equal to 6 times the parameter of overall thickness (discussed below) divided by the minimum thickness, whereas 10 times that parameter are needed for larger bandwidths. It has further been found that the optimization of a starting design, other than a design of only a few layers, tends to reach a conclusion at a local minimum that is not always the best that can be achieved in the general region of available variables.

Design rules-of-thumb for this family of coatings might be: 1) determine the low, medium, and high indices that can be reliably produced at the wavelength needed, 2) search for the possible combinations of layers using these materials with QWOT solutions (intersections) near the desired angle and reflectance (being sure to include the proper angle-matched thicknesses), 3) adjust the indices to gain the angle and reflectance as needed (within the ranges that can be produced), and 4) adjust the design with optimization as necessary, using non-QWOT layers to achieve the most acceptable compromise for the application.
