title: Optical properties calculated for multidielectric quarter-wave coatings on microspheres.
abstract: Optical properties of overcoated microspheres are calculated and compared to those of planar multilayers, in regard to the sphere diameter. The classical criteria for in-situ optical monitoring is analyzed to control the growth of films on the spheres. Most coatings are multi-dielectric quarterwave stacks used in the thin film community.
