Stan:Being relatively new to TM and having ground only one mirror this may be a very basic question but,here goes. I noticed you "optimized" the oxide thickness to the 1/2 wave length at a given wave length,is this to hold down on refraction or what? My background is in communications electronics so I understnad the need for optimizing things like co-ax cable and antenna to the nearest 1/4 wave length. Would you expand on this?
