Description

Data structure for specification of coating complex amplitude transmission/reflection coefficients.  It may be used to specify common polarization elements linear/circular polarizers, waveplates, etc.  The form of this structure is not identical to the form used on the Polarizer/Waveplate coating type dialog.  Here, the amplitude is given by Sqrt( real² + imag² ) while the phase is given by f = ⁺- atan( imag / real ).
