    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Light scattering in multilayer optics is well-studied, but trapped scattering has been overlooked.
    • High-precision optics require accounting for all energy losses, including scattering.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and define the concept of trapped scattering in multilayer optical systems.
    • To develop a method for calculating trapped light within multilayers.
    • To compare trapped scattering with free-space scattering.

    Main Methods:

    • Investigated roughness-coupling at multilayer interfaces.
    • Developed a theoretical framework to calculate the modal scattering component.
    • Quantified trapped light and compared it to external scattering.

    Main Results:

    • Identified trapped scattering as a significant, previously unconsidered light scattering mechanism.
    • Demonstrated a method to calculate this internal scattering.
    • Showed trapped scattering can be comparable to external scattering in magnitude.

    Conclusions:

    • Trapped scattering is a necessary consideration for accurate energy balance in high-precision optics.
    • This finding impacts the design and performance of components for applications like gyro-lasers and gravitational wave detectors.
    • Further research into mitigating trapped scattering is warranted.
