REFLECTING SURFACE Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: optical instrument engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used for wide-band light reflecting. Reflecting surface has dielectric layers A, B and C. A layer is made of material having low refractivity, B layer is made of material with average refractivity and C layer is made of material having high reflectivity. Optical thickness of layers equals to λ_r/4, where λ_r is wavelength of middle part of interval having high refractivity. Sequence of layer alternation looks like (CDCABA)^KCBC, where K>=and has to be integer. Spectrum range with high reflectivity is widened due to shift in adjacent bandwidths at opposite sides along wavelength scale.

EFFECT: widened spectrum range with higher refractivity.
