Bragg Mirrors
Mirror structures based on Bragg Reflection at a period structure.
A Bragg mirror (also called distributed Bragg reflector) is a structure which consists of an alternating sequence of layers of two different optical materials. The most frequently used design is that of a quarter-wave mirror, where each optical Layer thickness corresponding to one quarter of the Wavelength for which the mirror is designed. The latter condition holds for normal incidence; if the mirror is designed for larger angles of incidence, accordingly thicker layers are needed.
