Optical waves in layered media refer to the behavior of light as it interacts with materials that have distinct layers, each with different optical properties such as refractive index, absorption, and thickness. These layered structures can include systems like: 1. **Thin Films**: Very thin layers of material, often used in coatings, can produce interference effects due to the reflection and transmission of light between the interfaces of the film and the surrounding media.
