This is a very important book for designers, users and manufacturers of optical thin films.
Written by an expert on optical thin films, who has a large amount of experience in designing and manufacturing thin films and in teaching, the book assumes that readers have a good knowledge of university-level mathematics. It gives a complete description of optical thin films from introduction, through a complete mathematical discussion with design examples, to production.
The important topics covered in the book include antireflection coatings, neutral mirrors, beam splitters, multilayer high-reflectance coating and bandpass filters. This is an essential reference for anyone interested in optical thin films.
