Integral estimator of broadband omnidirectionality
A. G. Barriuso, J. J. Monzon, L. L. Sanchez-Soto +1
By using the notion of wavelength- and angle-averaged reflectance, we assess in a systematic way the performance of finite omnidirectional reflectors. We put forward how this conce…
Perfect antireflection via negative refraction
J. J. Monzon, A. G. Barriuso, L. L. Sanchez-Soto
We suggest a geometrical framework to discuss the action of slabs of negatively refracting materials. We show that these slabs generate the same orbits as normal materials, but tra…
Geometrical aspects of first-order optical systems
A. G. Barriuso, J. J. Monzon, L. L. Sanchez-Soto +1
We reconsider the basic properties of ray-transfer matrices for first-order optical systems from a geometrical viewpoint. In the paraxial regime of scalar wave optics, there is a w…
Comparing omnidirectional reflection from periodic and quasiperiodic one-dimensional photonic crystals
A. G. Barriuso, J. J. Monzon, L. L. Sanchez-Soto +1
We determine the range of thicknesses and refractive indices for which omnidirectional reflection from quasiperiodic multilayers occurs. By resorting to the notion of area under th…
A vectorlike representation of multilayers
A. G. Barriuso, J. J. Monzon, L. L. Sanchez-Soto +1
We resort to the concept of turns to provide a geometrical representation of the action of any lossless multilayer, which can be considered as the analogous in the unit disk to the…
Optimizing omnidirectional reflection by multilayer mirrors
T. Yonte, J. J. Monzon, A. Felipe +1
Periodic layered media can reflect strongly for all incident angles and polarizations in a given frequency range. Quarter-wave stacks at normal incidence are commonplace in the des…
