Integral merit function for broadband omnidirectional mirrors.
By using the notion of wavelength- and angle-averaged reflectance, we assess in a systematic way the performance of finite omnidirectional reflectors. We put forward how this concept can be employed to optimize omnidirectional capabilities. We also apply it to give an alternative meaningful characterization of the bandwidth of these systems.
