A analogy between optical beating in the inverse transmittance spectrum of transparent double-layer structure and a beating phenomenon known from the standard vibration theory has been considered. We have determined analytical conditions under which the optical beating manifests itself the most clearly in the interference spectra of multilayer structures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
