Abstract:A multilayer high reflectance coating consisting of Ag, SiO 2 , and TiO 2 with R vis of 99.3% was successfully designed by simulation based on Maxwell's equations. The authors found that providing the low refractive index SiO 2 layer with non-quarter-wave thickness ͑0.14 of nd / for 550 nm light͒ near the Ag layer made a leading contribution to this high reflectance. They successfully made a multilayer high reflectance coating of Ag/ SiO 2 / TiO 2 on polyethylene telephthalate film with R vis of 99.4% based on… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
