A closed-form solution for the reflectivity of an optical coating with a sine-wave index profile (rugate) is derived by using coupled-wave theory. Reflectance is calculated for such coatings on arbitrary substrates and incident media. A vector formalism is used that produces results for both s- and p- polarization components.
