      Este artículo analiza la propagación de ondas electromagnéticas en sistemas multicapa mediante el método de matriz de transferencia (MMT). Se examinan propiedades ópticas fundamentales, como la transmitancia y la reflectancia, en materiales dieléctricos y cristales fotónicos dieléctricos (CFD), evaluando cómo parámetros como el grosor de las capas, su número y su disposición estratificada afectan la propagación de la radiación. Los resultados principales incluyen la identificación de bandas de transmisión y reflexión, el impacto de las características geométricas y periódicas de las capas en la eficiencia óptica, y la validación del MMT, en comparación con métodos experimentales. Asimismo, se presentan simulaciones que evidencian cómo configuraciones óptimas de sistemas multicapa maximizan la transmitancia dentro del espectro visible. Estos hallazgos subrayan la versatilidad del MMT para el diseño de recubrimientos de alta transmitancia (o reflectancia) y dispositivos fotónicos avanzados, con aplicaciones en celdas fotovoltaicas y sensores ópticos.

      This article analyzes the propagation of electromagnetic waves in multilayer systems using the transfer matrix method (TMM). Some fundamental optical properties, which include transmittance and reflectance, are examined in dielectric materials and photonic crystals; the influence on radiation propagation associated to some system variables, including the number of layers, their thickness, and stratified deposition, is analyzed. Our main results include the identification of transmission and reflection bands, the influence of the system geometry and periodicity on the optical efficiency, and the viability of the TMM, which can be accomplished by comparing our results with experimental data. In addition, sets of optimal configurations of multilayer systems are presented that show how transmittance is maximized within the optical spectrum. These findings highlight the versatility of the TMM in order to design coatings of high transmittance (or reflectance) and advanced photonic devices, which have several applications, including the areas of photovoltaic cells and optical sensors.
