Multiple reflection method for electromagnetic waves in layered dielectric structures

摘要

Reflection and transmission of a plane electromagnetic wave propagating in a layered dielectric structure with an arbitrary number of layers of various thicknesses are investigated. For the general case of oblique incidence of the wave on this structure, the reflection and transmission coefficients are calculated for both TE and TM waves using a multiple reflection method. An algorithm to apply the obtained formulas for numerical and analytical calculations is suggested.
