4.9 Multilayer analysis                                          187






















        Figure 4.34: (a) Two layers on a substrate. The refractive index of each layer
        is also indicated. The left-hand figure is transformed into the problem shown in
        (b), with a complex reflectivity p^ at the interface with the substrate, replacing
        the layer n 2.



            Equations (4.9.2) and (4.9.3) can be expressed by algebraic manipula-
        tion in the following matrix form:






            The reflectivity r l at the substrate interface is





        and the transmission coefficient, t l}





            Once again applying continuity at the second interface from the bot-
        tom, the reflected and transmitted fields are described as





        The phase <PJ = fySlj = ^TTUjSLjlX.
