Kushnir O., Dzendzelyuk O., Hrabovskyy V. and Vlokh O.

The coupled wave theory is modified for the case of electromagnetic wave propagation in semi-conductor crystals possessing a so-called isotropic point (IP) and a linear dichroism (LD). Modif-ications, due to the LD, imposed on the optical transmission spectra of band-pass and band-reject narrow-band optical filters built upon the chalcopyrite, wurtzite and zinc blend crystals are quantitative-ly explained and compared with the available experimental data. The main performance characteristics of the filters are re-calculated.

Key words: coupled mode theory, optical transmittance, dichroism, isotropic point, optical interference filters.
