Abstract

Abstract A non-absorbing, substantially colorless, multi-layer antireflection coating for use on a substrate having an index of refraction of 1.43 to 2.00 comprises a first layer of a low-index filming material deposited on the substrate and having a thickness less than lambda /4, a second layer of a high-index filming material deposited on the first layer and having a thickness of less than lambda /4, a third layer of a low-index filming material deposited on the second layer and having a thickness approximately between 5 lambda /16 and 7 lambda /16, a fourth layer of a high-index filming material deposited on the third layer and having a thickness of less than lambda /4, a fifth layer of a low-index filming material deposited on the fourth layer and having a thickness of less than lambda /4, a sixth layer of a high-index filming material deposited on the fifth layer and having a thickness of more than lambda /2, and a seventh layer of a low-index filming material deposited on the sixth layer and having a thickness of lambda /4, wherein lambda is a selected wavelength of near ultraviolet range to near infrared range.
