Abstract
The angular properties of various wideband high reflectors are investigated. The theory is developed for the design of high reflectors based on contiguous quarter-wave stacks for use at one oblique angle or for a range of angles of incidence. Numerical results are presented for several high reflectors designed to have a high reflectance in the 0.4–0.8-µm spectral region for use at 50° and with angles of incidence ranging between 0° and 50°. A random error perturbation analysis shows that such layer systems can be produced experimentally.
