Antireflection Coatings
An antireflection coating is a thin film or coating applied to optical surfaces, such as lenses or windows, to minimize unwanted reflections and increase the transmission of light through the surface. These coatings are designed to reduce both specular (mirror-like) and diffuse (scattered) reflections, thereby improving the efficiency and performance of optical systems.
