These tools give insight into how optical coatings function and how they might be designed to meet given requirements. Shown are how unavailable indices can be approximated, the basis of ideal antireflection coating design, and the practical approximation of inhomogeneous index profilesPPN: PPN: 1018188975Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-50-SPI
