Abstract/Summary

New algorithms and microcomputer-programs for generating original multilayer designs (and printing a spectral graph) from refractive-index input are presented. The programs are characterised TSHEBYSHEV, HERPIN, MULTILAYER-SPECTRUM and have originated new designs of narrow-stopband, non-polarizing edge, and Tshebyshev optical filter. Computation procedure is an exact synthesis (so far that is possible) numerical refinement not having been needed.
