Constructing Fresnel reflection coefficients by ruler and compass
J. J. Monzon, L. L. Sanchez-Soto
A simple and intuitive geometical method to analyze Fresnel formulas is presented. It applies to transparent media and is valid for perpendicular and parallel polarizations. The ap…
Simple trace criterion for classification of multilayers
L. L. Sanchez-Soto, J. J. Monzon, T. Yonte +1
The action of any lossless multilayer is described by a transfer matrix that can be factorized in terms of three basic matrices. We introduce a simple trace criterion that classifi…
Fresnel coefficients as hyperbolic rotations
J. J. Monzon, L. L. Sanchez-Soto
We describe the action of a plane interface between two semi-infinite media in terms of a transfer matrix. We find a remarkably simple factorization of this matrix, which enables u…
Understanding multilayers from a geometrical viewpoint
T. Yonte, J. J. Monzon, L. L. Sanchez-Soto +2
We reelaborate on the basic properties of lossless multilayers. We show that the transfer matrices for these multilayers have essentially the same algebraic properties as the Loren…
