An optical plane wave with 20 = 532 nm propagates through an isotropic material
with unknown optical properties. The total optical phase accumulated per unit
length in the material is 1.8 x 10ª radians/mm and the optical power decreases by
90% when propagating over 2 mm. Calculate the complex index of refraction for
this material, n = n' - j.n".
A lens with an index of refraction of 1.60 is to be coated with a material (n = 1.40) that will make the lens nonreflecting for yellow-orange light (λλ = 515 nm) normally incident on the lens.
What is the minimum required thickness of the coating?
A common lens coating material is magnesium fluoride 1MgF22, with n = 1.38. What thickness should a nonreflective coating have for 550 nm light if it is applied to glass with n = 1.52?
