Abstract

A simple procedure is presented for computing optical transmission through planar layered structures when interference effects can be neglected, but all multiple internal reflections are taken into account. Closed form solutions are given for a single absorbing layer on a nonabsorbing substrate and for two identical absorbing layers on either side of a nonabsorbing substrate.
