Abstract:
This research looks into methods for searching of designs of nonpolarizing interference systems, which provide a small discrepancy between spectral characteristics of the energy reflection/transmission coefficient for s- and p- polarizations. The layer thickness of these systems is a multiple of a quarter wavelength. Depending on the method used, the number of film-forming materials can vary from two to four. Analysis of spectral characteristics shows that in the spectral range of interest the discrepancy between the integral characteristics for s- and p-polarizations is less than 2%.

Keywords:
nonpolarizing interference systems, quarter-wave optical layers, spectral and integral discrepancy
