Course Description
Provides an understanding of some of the significant physical mechanisms involved in the growth, structure and optical properties of thin films for us in the wavelength range ~1nm - 1um. The basic electromagnetic theory of multilayer thin films will be covered, with application to coatings including antireflection, reflection, beam splitters, diachronic filters, and bandpass filters. Examples ranging from the IR to soft x-rays will be discussed.
