摘要
We show that under certain conditions a one-dimensional dielectric lattice displays total omnidirectional reflection of incident light. The predictions are verified experimentally using a Na3AlF6/ZnSe multilayer structure developed by means of standard optical technology. The structure was found to have a reflection coefficient of more then 99% in the range of incident angles 0-86 degrees at the wavelength of 632.8 nm for a-polarization. The results are likely to stimulate new experiments on photonic crystals and controlled spontaneous emission.
