Abstract

A device having at least one dielectric inner core region in which electromagnetic radiation is confined, and at least two dielectric outer regions surrounding the inner core region, each with a distinct refractive index. The outer regions confine electromagnetic radiation within the inner core region. The refractive indices, the number of outer regions, and thickness of the outer regions result in a reflectivity for a planar geometry that is greater than 95 % for angles of incidence ranging from 0° to at least 80°
for all polarizations for a range of wavelengths of the electromagnetic radiation. In exemplary embodiments, the inner core region is made of a low dielectric material, and the outer regions include alternating layers of low and high dielectric materials. In one aspect of the invention, the device is a waveguide, and in another aspect the device is a microcavity. One embodiment describes a polystyrene-tellurium multilayer coating for the infrared and it is used on a hollow waveguide.
