Abstract
We have simulated the optical behavior of a new reflective APSM by utilizing the optical multilayer thin film theory. In a typical Mo/Si multilayer structure, we show that the requirement of a reflective APSM can be met simply by adjusting the thickness of the over-coated Ge layer. A phase shift of 180 degrees results when compared light reflected from a Ge absorption layer to that form a Mo/Si multilayer, and the resultant reflectance ratio is in the range of 4-15 percent. No additional phase shifting layer is needed.
