| Abstract: | In this paper, 2×2 characteristic matrices of uniaxially anisotropic thin film for extraordinary and ordinary wave are deduced
at oblique incidence. Furthermore, the reflectance and transmittance of thin films are calculated separately for two polarizations,
which provide a new concept for designing non-polarizing thin films at oblique incidence. Besides, using the multilayer birefringent
thin films, non-polarizing designs, such as beam splitter thin film at single wavelength, edge filter and antireflection thin
film over visible spectral region are obtained at oblique incidence. |
