Optimizing omnidirectional reflection by multilayer mirrors

Optics 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

Periodic layered media can reflect strongly for all incident angles and polarizations in a given frequency range. Quarter-wave stacks at normal incidence are commonplace in the design of such omnidirectional reflectors. We discuss alternative design criteria to optimize these systems.
