Abstract

The optical models of distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs) with even and odd number of alternating quarter-wavelength dielectric bilayers are considered. Reflective characteristics of DBRs with and without loss in the layers, as well as distributions of electric field amplitude and power flow density along the structures are investigated by the method of single expression (MSE) through numerical calculation. By obtained results the optimal configuration of DBR is suggested for application in microresonator structures.
