Figure 5

Model of a type I scale which reflects strongly at 600 nm, showing the materials, optical thicknesses as fractions of the peak wavelength, physical thicknesses (d) and refractive indices (n). Interfaces (A–D) are referred to in the text. Interfaces with heavy lines produce a λ/2 phase change. Type II scales have a similar structure but without the air layer.
