چکیده
Optical properties and structure of antireflective coatings (AR) deposited from hydrolysed TEOS sol have been characterized in detail. The influence of various parameters on the formation of colloidal silica antireflective coatings by the dip-coating technique has been investigated. For the characterization of colloidal silica films, the UV-visible spectroscopy, laser ellipsometry, and atomic force microscopy were used. Using optimal sol-gel processing conditions (dipping rate – 40 mm/min, coating time – 20 s, and temperature – 20 oC), the colloidal silica coatings were obtained and characterized in comparison with non-coated glass substrate. The reflectance of AR coatings increased with increasing the temperature of sol-gel processing. The laser damage threshold of as deposited films was measured at 1064 nm (1H) and 335 nm (3H) wavelength using a Nd:YAG lasers. The laser damage threshold of AR coating exceeded 15.22 J/cm at 1064 nm and 26.82 J/cm at 355nm.

Fabrication of Luminescent Antireflective Coatings with CaMoO4:Eu3+/Ag Composite Structure
Highly transparent and luminescent CaMoO4:Eu/Ag composite films were fabricated on glass substrates as multifunctional antireflective (AR) coatings. The films were deposited through a combination of a sol–gel dip-coating technique and a hot water treatment. With the addition of an aluminum source in coating solutions, the sol–gel-derived films underwent a remarkable microstructural change durin...

TiO2 thin films have been prepared by the sol-gel dipcoating technique in order to elaborate antireflective thin films for monocrystalline silicon (mono-Si). The titanium isopropoxyde was chosen as a precursor with hydrochloric acid as a catalyser for preparing a stable solution. The optical properties have been tailored with varying the solution concentration, the withdrawn speed, and the heat...
