• Basic dispersion models in Thin Film Optics
• Optical properties of material mixtures
• Interfaces: Fresnels equations
• Multiple internal reflections in layered systems
• Optical spectra of single thin films
• Wave propagation in stratified media
• Matrix formalism
• Multilayer systems: Quarterwave-stacks and derived systems
• Coatings for ultrashort light pulses
• Remarks on coating design

This course is of use for anyone who needs to learn how optical coatings are used to tailor the optical properties of surfaces. After an introduction about the theoretical fundamentals of optical coatings the student should learn to calculate the optical properties of uncoated and coated surfaces. Based on this, typical design concepts and applications will be presented.
