Abstract
A simple routine is given for the automatic design of multilayer systems. In the applications described a least-squares criterion for fitting to a specified reflectance function is used; other criteria may be substituted as required. The method is illustrated with examples of anti-reflection, broad-band reflection, achromatic beam-splitter and cut-on systems.Keywords
