Abstract

At times multilayer coatings are required with properties that are a complicated function of the spectral transmittance or reflectance curve. We have modified our thin film synthesis program FILTER¹to accept merit functions of the following type: where and In the above ${\text{G}}_{\text{i}}^{\text{T}}$, G_iare the target and calculated quantities that are equal to or are functions of up to 3 different integrals I_jof the form and δG_iare the acceptable tolerances on ${\text{G}}_{\text{i}}^{\text{T}}$. W_iis a weight factor provided in the input.
