Title

Single-Layer-Coated Surfaces With Linearized Reflectance Versus Angle Of Incidence:Applicationto Passive And Active Silicon Rotation Sensors

Abstract

A transparent or absorbing substrate can be coated with a transparent thin film to produce a linear reflectance- versus-angle-of-incidence response over a certain range of angles. Linearization at and near normal incidence is a special case that leads to a maximally flat response for p-polarized, s-polarized, or unpolarized light. For midrange and high-range linearization with moderate and high slopes, respectively, the best results are obtained when the incident light is s polarized. Application to a Si substrate that is coated with a SiO2 film leads to novel passive and active reflection rotation sensors. Experimental results and an error analysis of this rotation sensor are presented. © 1995 Optical Society of America.
