Abstract
Modeling of optical interference coatings requires an accurate description of film optical properties. This can become challenging if the layers are inhomogeneous, because the optical properties change as a function of physical thickness. An effective approach to developing a film model which includes index of refraction changes as a function of physical thickness is proposed and demonstrated for HfO2 and MgF2 single layer films. The single layer models are then used to accurately predict and optimize the spectral performance of visible broadband antireflection coatings.
