Reflectance of multilayer systems with randomly rough boundaries

Optics Communications 71 (1989) 323–326

In this theoretical paper new formulae for calculating the specular reflectance of multilayer systems with randomly rough boundaries are presented. These formulae are derived within the scalar theory of diffraction. They are suitable for investigating the multilayer systems with slightly rough boundaries. The theoretical results are illustrated through the spectral dependence of the reflectance characterizing a multilayer system formed by seven nonabsorbing films.
