Abstract

Results are presented for the second Optical Society of America's Optical Interference Coatings Manufacturing Problem. The participants were asked to produce multilayer coatings which, in the $450–650\text{\hspace{0.17em} nm}$ spectral region and for light incident at $60°$, would have transmittances of $0.7\text{\hspace{0.17em} and 0 .3}$ for p- and s-polarized light, respectively. Three different teams each submitted four solutions. Three different deposition processes were used to produce these coatings. The smallest average departure from the target transmission values was $0.79\%$. A number of interesting conclusions can be drawn from this exercise.
