How are coatings thicknesses applied

In terms of physical thickness, when a coating is applied on a face of say a rectangular volume, does it change the actual thickness of the rectangular volume ? or is the coating’s thickness is assimilated to 0 in terms of direction/propagation of rays ?

in other words, do coatings only modify the amplitude/energy of rays, or also their locations/directions (like a regular parallel plate for example that also shifts the oblique rays) ?

Best answer by Mike.Jones

Amplitude, phase and polarization only, with zero physical thickness.  Try it without and with a multilayer coating.  CTVA and ETVA don't change values.
