Which outcome occurs when coating thickness varies across Bragg mirrors?

💡 Explanation

Non-uniform coating thickness changes the optical path length, modifying constructive and destructive interference and therefore colors; this is wavelength-dependent. The varied intensity spectrum is observed, rather than uniformly suppressing/enhancing reflectivity, because this effect is dependent upon precise interference. Reflection amplitude is independent.
