Fundamentals of Multilayer Coating Design
Multilayer coatings are essential in various optical applications, including anti-reflective coatings, mirrors, filters, and more. These coatings consist of multiplelayers of materials with different refractive indices, designed to manipulate light through interference effects. This article covers the fundamentals of multilayer coating design, including the principles of coherence, the application of Fresnel equations, phase shift calculations, and the design of gradient index coatings.
