Microstructured Antireflecting Coatings for Infrared Wavelengths

Application ID: 99011


The design of antireflecting coating plays an important role to increase the transmission of the infrared light that propagates through optical structures such as lens and windows.

In this model, we showcase how different bulk structures such as Si and CZT that has the bulk transmittance of 70% and 79% respectively, can be increased to more than 90% by etching the surface of the bulk layer with a particular microstructure. The results matched well with Hobbs et al. paper.
