Antireflection Coatings

­

­­Antireflection coatings (also called antireflective coatings or AR coatings) reduce reflection of optical surfaces from lenses, objectives, prisms, or display discs.

Objectives made of several lenses would not be usable without AR coatings, because each lens looses 8 % of light intensity du to reflections that cause disturbances in the image and reduce contrasts by scattered light. Antireflection coated display covers improve the readability of displays and prevent disturbing reflections.

Coatings can be optimized for single wavelengths (e.g. laser) or they can be adjusted to broad bands of wavelengths (e.g., VIS or NIR).

Using sophisticated techniques and special designs we can combine antireflection coatings with supplementary functions, such as scratch resistance or improved cleanability.

­­We offer:

• V- and broad band antireflection coatings on  PMMA, PMMI, PC, SAN, PS, COP, and COC   
• Optimized and adjusted wavelength ranges
• Broadband AR coatings with adjustable scratch resistance (patented design AR-hard®)
• Broadband color neutral antireflective coatings with nanostructures (patented nano-motheye structure)
• Plasma-ion assisted coating technology (Plasma-IAD)
• AR coatings with Easy-To-Clean coatings
