摘要
The design, fabrication, and characterization of a broadband, omnidirectional, graded-index anti-reflection (AR) coating on a glass substrate, fabricated by using nanostructured low-refractive-index (n = 1.05-1.40) silica, is reported. The AR coating is designed by using a genetic algorithm and fabricated by using oblique angle deposition. The AR coating is designed for the wavelength range of 400 to 2500 nm and 0 to 40 degrees angle of incidence. The measured average optical transmittance between 1000 and 2000 nm is improved from 92.6 to 99.3% at normal incidence by using a two-layer AR coating deposited on both surfaces of the glass substrate.
