As light passes through an uncoated glass substrate, approximately 4% will be reflected at each surface. This results in a total transmission of only 92% of the incident light. Anti-reflection coatings are especially important if the system contains many transmitting optical elements.
Anti-reflection coatings are offered to reduce surface reflections to a minimum. Two types of broadband coatings are offered by BTMT.
A 1/4wave MgF2 coating is a broadband coating (400~700nm typical) that can be used for substrate with index of refraction ranging from 1.45 to 2.4. It is less sensitive to angular and spectral variations than multilayer coatings.
A single layer of MgF2 on Fused Silica or Bk7 reduces reflections per surface to about 1.5% over a broadband width. If lower reflectance is required, a multilayer broadband coating will provide and reflectance less than 0.5% per surface. |
