Transmission characters of birefringent thin films with columnar microstructures

The transmission,reflection and phase properties of anisotropic thin films with columnar microstructures are derived from EM theory.Standard boundary conditions are imposed on resultant electric-field and magnetic-field vectors at interfaces.These matricial relations include multiple reflections while dealing with total fields.Calculation example is presented for a special case of isotropic-biaxial-isotropic system,which should be the foundation of further research and the design of birefringent thin-film device.
