Examples of layered structures for photonic crystals
Matrix Theory of Multilayer Optics
Wave Transfer (Transmission) Matrix
Scattering Matrix
Scattering and Wave Transfer Matrices
For loss-less boundaries For scattering Matrix Energy Conservation!!!! For transmission Matrix For lossless AND Reciprocal (r and t in backward and forward directions the same) Matrix
Example
Cross first boundary
Example
Non-normal waves in layered medium Fresnel reflection and transmission coefficients now dependent on incident angle AND polarization.
Non-normal incident Light
