Optical Waves in Layered Media (Wiley Series in Pure and Applied Optics)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Optical Waves in Layered Media presents a clear picture of the propagation of optical waves in layered media and teaches the reader how to design and analyze optical devices using such media. Starting from the simplest case of plane wave propagation in homogeneous media, the author introduces a new matrix method for studying the optical properties of multilayer structures consisting of isotropic materials. He then describes propagation in anisotropic layered media and in inhomogeneous layers, guided waves, the coupling of modes, and the optical properties of superlattices and quantum wells.
Optical Waves in Layered Media bridges the gap between theory and practice by means of numerical examples based on real-life situations.

Presents a clear picture of the propagation of optical waves in layered media and teaches the reader how to design and analyze optical devices using such media. Starting from the simplest case of plane wave propagation in homogeneous media, the author introduces a new matrix method for studying the optical properties of multilayer structures which consist of isotropic materials. He then describes propagation in anisotropic layered media and in inhomogeneous layers, guided waves, the coupling of modes, and the optical properties of superlattices and quantum wells. Materials covered include dielectrics, crystals, and absorbing media such as metals and semiconductors. Many applications are described, including spectral filters, Bragg relectors, Fabry-Perot etalons, antireflection coatings, ellipsometry, gradient index imaging rods, birefringent filters, waveguide couplers, and x-ray mirrors and oscillators.
