title: Fourier transform approach for thickness estimation of reflecting interference filters.
abstract: An empirical procedure based on optical-density-bandwidth products was recently proposed for thickness estimation of dielectric thin film reflectors. A parallel is established with new results derived from the Fourier transform thin film synthesis technique. Two Fourier-transform approaches are proposed and justified by numerical examples.
