Multi-layer anti-reflection coatings containing at least one nanoporous layer optimized using non-analytical optimization algorithm, such as genetic algorithm
RPI ID: 2008-036-601Innovation Summary:This invention introduces an anti-reflection coating with ultra-low reflectance across a broad spectrum and a wide range of incident angles. The coating achieves less than 6% reflectance from 400–1600 nm and up to 70° incidence. It is ideal for optical devices, solar panels, and sensors requiring high transmission...
