SUMMARY
In optics, Tp refers to the highest amount of light transmitted through a material, while Ts denotes the lowest amount of light transmitted. These terms are closely associated with reflection and transmission coefficients, particularly concerning the polarization components of light waves relative to surface orientation. Understanding these concepts is crucial for applications involving polarizing beamsplitters and other optical devices.
