An exact solution for dipole fields inside optical multilayer structures

In this report, we derive some tools that can be used to construct semi-analytical solution for the electromagnetic field of a dipole in an arbitrary multilayer system. The proposed methods consist of a recursive determination of electric fields -- using the mathematical principle behind a Fabry-Perot interferometer -- and two different derivations for the decomposition of the electric field of a resonating dipole into plane waves -- using dyadic Green functions and two dimensional Fourier transforms respectively. These decomposition methods are not analytic, since the resulting integrals can only be computed numerically. The results of these tools are compared to known results from other literature and seem to nicely match, making them useful tools for the combination into a method for computing the dipole field in the multilayer. This merge is not completed in this project. However, some suggestions on how to perform this combination are done.
