Abstract
Thin film interference coatings are a commonplace addition to surfaces polished in a modern optical fabrication facility. These coatings can have a dramatic effect on the optical performance of the optical component to which they are applied. In this presentation, I intend to concentrate on those effects which are related to polarization of the incident beam or the phase shift difference on reflection (retardation).
