Optical Waves in Layered Media presents a clear picture of
the propagation of optical waves in layered media and teaches the
reader how to design and analyze optical devices using such media.
Starting from the simplest case of plane wave propagation in
homogeneous media, the author introduces a new matrix method for
studying the optical properties of multilayer structures consisting
of isotropic materials. He then describes propagation in
anisotropic layered media and in inhomogeneous layers, guided
waves, the coupling of modes, and the optical properties of
superlattices and quantum wells.
Optical Waves in Layered Media bridges the gap between theory and practice by means of numerical examples based on real-life situations.
