Abstract
We present a versatile, simple, and rapid numerical technique based on thin -film optics for analyzing distributed Bragg reflectors composed of any mat erial system. This technique is an alternative to the commonly used coupled -mode theories or matrix methods. Simulation results agree with those obtai ned using conventional matrix methods, and with the measured reflectivity o f an MBE-grown III-V DBR. (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
