Optical properties of multilayer optics including negative index materials

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

Negative indices are revisited through the thin-film admittance formalism. Effective indices and phase delay associated with wave propagation through negative index layers are carefully defined and computational rules easily implementable in standard thin-film software are derived from this approach. This admittance formalism is then used to recover the main features of the perfect lens and to highlight the benefit of such negative index materials to improve the performances of quarter-wavelength Bragg mirrors and Fabry-Perot band-pass filters.
