Broadband omnidirectional antireflection coatings optimized by genetic algorithm.
An optimized graded-refractive-index (GRIN) antireflection (AR) coating with broadband and omnidirectional characteristics--as desired for solar cell applications--designed by a genetic algorithm is presented. The optimized three-layer GRIN AR coating consists of a dense TiO2 and two nanoporous SiO2 layers fabricated using oblique-angle deposition. The normal incidence reflectance of the three-...
متن کاملPredicting achievable design performance of broadband antireflection coatings.
An empirically derived formula, which can be used to predict the average residual reflection that can be expected from an antireflection (AR) coating design as a function of bandwidth, overall thickness, available indices of the coating materials, number of layers, etc., is presented. This formula can be a useful tool not only for the thin-film designer but also for the nondesigner or system en...
متن کاملUltraviolet antireflection coatings for use in silicon detector design.
We report on the development of coatings for a charged-coupled device (CCD) detector optimized for use in a fixed dispersion UV spectrograph. Because of the rapidly changing index of refraction of Si, single layer broadband antireflection (AR) coatings are not suitable to increase quantum efficiency at all wavelengths of interest. Instead, we describe a creative solution that provides excellent...
متن کاملDynamic etching of silicon for broadband antireflection applications
An electrochemical etching technique has been developed that provides continuous control over the porosity of a porous silicon layer as a function of etching depth. Thin films with engineered porosity gradients, and thus a controllable gradient in the index of refraction, have been used to demonstrate broadband antireflection properties on silicon wafer and solar cell substrates. A simulation w...
متن کاملRetrofittable T-ray antireflection coatings
Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) is able to extract optical or dielectric properties of materials, whether in the solid, liquid, or gas phase, in the T-ray frequency region. Spectroscopy of a liquid or gas often requires a receptacle to confine the sample. In order to allow T-rays to probe the sample effectively, the receptacle must have T-ray transparent windows. However, even thou...
