NAME
Physics::Ellipsometry::VASE::TMM - Transfer Matrix Method for multilayer optics
DESCRIPTION
Implements the 2×2 transfer matrix method for calculating reflection coefficients of multilayer thin film stacks. Uses the physics sign convention (e^{-iωt} time dependence → e^{+2iβ} phase propagation).
Supports arbitrary layer stacks with complex refractive indices.
CONVENTIONS
- Phase: Physics convention (e^{+2iβ} for forward propagation)
- Fresnel rp: Verdet convention: rp = (Nf·cosθi - Ni·cosθf)/(Nf·cosθi + Ni·cosθf)
- Delta: -arg(ρ) mapped to [0°, 360°) matching WVASE/refellips
