Bragg structures with thin lossy layers

Abstract

The behavior of quasi-periodic and aperiodic (chirp) Bragg structures with thin lossy layers was examined. In order to determine the frequency dependence of the reflection coefficient transmission matrix method was used. A deep minimum of the reflection coefficient for any frequency is implemented by proper choice of the thickness of the last thin film and its optical distance to the substrate. The possibility of providing broadband reflection by aperiodic structures has been offered.
