Optical coating on a corrugated surface to align the polarization of an unpolarized wave without loss

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A multilayer comprising birefringent thin films is devised to present to function as a polarization beam splitter and waveplate simultaneously. By arranging such a multilayer on a right triangle-shaped corrugated surface, a polarizer is realized to align the randomly oscillating electric field of an unpolarized wave into a linear polarized wave without loss.
