← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a multi-layer dielectric mirror exceeds its design's bandwidth tolerance?
A)Reduced spectral reflection range✓
B)Increased refractive index dispersion
C)Polarization mode dispersion increases
D)Higher second harmonic generation
💡 Explanation
Reduced spectral reflection range occurs because *thin film interference* becomes less effective due to variations in layer thickness and refractive indices outside the specified bandwidth; therefore the reflected wavelengths narrow, rather than exhibiting behaviors like increased dispersion under normal operation.
