Analytical expressions are established for the complex thicknesses of two arbitrary layers of the low absorbing multilayer coating, at which zero value of the reflectance is achieved. Based on these relations, a numerical procedure is proposed for finding the thicknesses of one or more additional layers of the coating, which makes it possible to achieve a high transmittance for the chosen wavelength.
