title: Broadband high-reflection multilayer coatings at oblique angles of incidence.
abstract: The angular properties of various wideband high reflectors are investigated. The theory is developed for the design of high reflectors based on contiguous quarter-wave stacks for use at one oblique angle or for a range of angles of incidence. Numerical results are presented for several high reflectors designed to have a high reflectance in the 0.4-0.8-mum spectral region for use at 50 degrees and with angles of incidence ranging between 0 degrees and 50 degrees . A random error perturbation analysis shows that such layer systems can be produced experimentally.
