Thin-Film Interference using Fresnel Equations

If you want to see more of these videos, or would like to say thanks for this one, the best way to do that is by becoming a patron - see the link above :). And a huge thank you to all my existing patrons - you make these videos possible.

Ready for some advanced-level thin-film interference? This video walks through interference in a thin film using Fresnel's equations, and making absolutely no assumptions, I show what conditions must be satisfied for the wave to be completely transmitted (a perfect anti-reflection coating).

This is part of my graduate series on optoelectronics / photonics, and is based primarily on Coldren's book on Lasers as well as graduate-level coursework I have taken in the EECS department at UC Berkeley.

Hope you found this video helpful, please post in the comments below anything I can do to improve future videos, or suggestions you have for future videos.
