| 1. | Applications include Fabry P�rot interferometers, antireflection coatings, and optical filters.
|
| 2. | Thorium tetrafluoride is used as an antireflection material in multilayered optical coatings.
|
| 3. | Antireflection coatings are typically effective for narrow ranges of frequency or angle of incidence.
|
| 4. | Magnesium difluoride is widely used as an antireflection coating for spectacles and optical equipment.
|
| 5. | The availability of antireflection coating permitted the Double Gauss to rise to dominance over the Sonnar.
|
| 6. | It also is the mechanism behind the action of antireflection coatings used on glasses and camera lenses.
|
| 7. | These were the first type of antireflection coating known, having been discovered by Lord Rayleigh in 1886.
|
| 8. | Other uses include gas sensors, antireflection coatings, electrowetting on dielectrics, and Bragg reflectors for VCSEL lasers.
|
| 9. | Modern lasers often use rods with antireflection coatings, or with the ends cut and polished at Brewster's angle instead.
|
| 10. | Researchers have produced films of mesoporous silica nanoparticles with refractive indices as low as 1.12, which function as antireflection coatings.
