A complete solution is given for the problem of constructing a plane stratified dielectric medium having that the property that at a fixed frequency and polarization a plane wave at any angle of incidence will be transmitted without reflection by the medium. This problem can also be interpreted quantum-mechanically. The dielectric medium of the first interpretation becomes, in the second interpretation, a potential for the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation such that a particle which is sent in from - ∞ is transmitted with probability one of getting through to + ∞, no matter what the initial kinetic energy of the particle may be.
In addition, the results can be applied to the problem of finding perfectly matched nonuniform transmission lines.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
