Abstract
Expressions for the optical properties of laminated layers have drawn much attention from researchers in recent years because of emerging optoelectronic applications (Chen and Tien, 1992; Cunsolo et al., 1992; Zhang and Flik, 1993, Engelbrecht, 1994; Grossman and McDonald, 1995; Anderson and Bayazitoglu, 1996). Different equations must be applied in particular situations (Chen and Tien, 1992; Zhang, 1994). After carefully examining the transmittance formulae of a lamina, this work shows that the geometric-optics formula may result in a significant error for a highly absorbing medium even in the incoherent limit (when interference effects are negligible).
