What Does DBR Stand For?
DBR stands for Distributed Bragg Reflector
DBR, or Distributed Bragg Reflector, is an optical device composed of alternating layers of materials with differing refractive indices. It functions by reflecting specific wavelengths of light due to interference effects, making it essential in applications such as laser technology, optical filters, and photonic devices. By tailoring the layer thickness and material composition, DBRs can be engineered to achieve precise wavelength selectivity and high reflectivity, enhancing the performance of various optical systems.
