Abstract

In the last few years, optical coating design has been projected from a somewhat traditional and slow-moving subject into the foreground of activity. Important sections of conferences are being devoted to it and there is intense competition in the supply of software packages for coating design and analysis. This paper reviews some of the background to design, suggests reasons for the current state of the subject and comments on possible future directions.
