    Summary

    This study extends the 2 × 2 matrix method to analyze electromagnetic field propagation in absorbing, inhomogeneous thin films. It details the impact of multiple reflections within the film on the overall field.

    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Electromagnetic field propagation in thin films is crucial for optical device design.
    • Existing matrix methods may not fully capture absorption and inhomogeneity effects.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To extend the 2 × 2 matrix formalism for analyzing absorbing inhomogeneous thin films.
    • To investigate the contribution of multiple reflections to electromagnetic field propagation.

    Main Methods:

    • Extension of Bovard's 2 × 2 matrix formalism.
    • Analysis of electromagnetic wave propagation considering absorption and inhomogeneity.
    • Decomposition of contributions from multiple reflection orders.

    Main Results:

    • The extended formalism accurately models field propagation in complex thin films.
