Algorithm 1: Recursive processes for amplitude reflection coefficients.
Input: λ
Structure parameters: θ1,n=n1,n2,,nl,d=d2,d3,,dl.
Step 1: Calculate θk,βk, and Nk using structure parameters.
θk=sinnk1nksinθk1, for k = 2, 3, ..., l.
βk=2πcosθknkdk/λ, for k = 2, 3, ..., l.
Nk=nk/cosθkforTEnkcosθkforTM, for k = 2, 3, ..., l.
Step 2: Obtain η2 by setting ηl=Nl.
For k = l-1 to 2
ηk=Nkηk+1cosβk+jNksinβkNkcosβk+jηk+1sinβk.
Step 3: Compute ρ=N1η2/N1+η2.
Output: ρ
