Abstract
Two forms of the transfer matrix applied for treatment of light propagation through one-dimensional optical structures are discussed. A detailed comparison between those forms is presented. A case of structures with absorption (gain) is included. The relation between the transfer matrix method and the Floquet-Bloch theory is highlighted for the case of a periodic structure.
