← ScienceWhich consequence results when imperfections reduce coating uniformity in multilayer optical films?
A)Increased destructive interference at design wavelengths✓
B)Enhanced thin-film compressive stress
C)Reduced thermal expansion coefficient
D)Higher refractive index homogeneity
💡 Explanation
Increased imperfections cause deviations in layer thickness; the **optical path difference** varies across the film because random variations disrupt the intended interference. Destructive interference is enhanced therefore, rather than constructive modes, because phase relationships are scattered randomly.
