“…The plane-wave response characteristics of Bragg mirrors of both types were determined for λ 0 ∈ [500 nm, 900 nm] in a dark room, using a custom computer-controlled variable-angle spectroscopic system described elsewhere [5,11,15], λ 0 being the free-space wavelength. The specular linear reflectances R ss , R ps , R sp , and R pp of both films deposited on glass slides were measured for θ inc ∈ [10 • , 70 • ], in steps of 5 • , θ inc being the angle of incidence with respect to the z axis.…”
