چکیده
-In this work, a vibrating search algorithm is applied to design a normal-incidence broadband visible antireflection (AR) coating on the flexible Polyethersulfone (PES) substrate, and then AR coats PES using ion-assisted deposition (IAD). The average visible spectral reflectivities of calculated and experimental AR performances are reduced to below 0.321 and 0.327%, respectively, revealing very acceptable and comparable.

متن کاملAntireflection coating design for plastic optics.
The coating of plastics for optical applications is intended to improve the mechanical durability of soft polymers and to serve an antireflection function. Usually a classic four-layer antireflection system is added on top of a single-layer hard coating. With needle optimization, an alternative coating design has been developed. The design is characterized by thin high-refractive-index layers t...
