Predicting 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 کاملBroadband 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 کاملBroadband Antireflection Coating Design Performance Estimation
The application of a few basic principles, some empirical data, and experience is applied to estimate the average residual reflection expected in an AR coating as a function of bandwidth, wavelength, overall thickness, substrate index, available coating materials, and number of layers. This can be a useful tool for not only the thin film designer but also the non-designer or system engineer to ...
متن کاملTuning the peak position of subwavelength silica nanosphere broadband antireflection coatings
Subwavelength nanostructures are considered as promising building blocks for antireflection and light trapping applications. In this study, we demonstrate excellent broadband antireflection effect from thin films of monolayer silica nanospheres with a diameter of 100 nm prepared by Langmuir-Blodgett method on glass substrates. With a single layer of compact silica nanosphere thin film coated on...
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...
