Fourier-transform method for the design of wideband antireflection coatings.
An iterative correction process, recently incorporated into the National Research Council of Canada Fourier-transform thin-film synthesis program, is applied to the design of wideband antireflection coatings. This type of problem is different from those solved in the past by this method. It cannot be handled in a practical way without a correction process. We consider in detail the effects-crit...
متن کاملLarge integrated absorption enhancement in plasmonic solar cells by combining metallic gratings and antireflection coatings.
We describe an ultrathin solar cell architecture that combines the benefits of both plasmonic photovoltaics and traditional antireflection coatings. Spatially resolved electron generation rates are used to determine the total integrated current improvement under AM1.5G solar illumination, which can reach a factor of 1.8. The frequency-dependent absorption is found to strongly correlate with the...
متن کاملRetrofittable T-ray antireflection coatings
Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) is able to extract optical or dielectric properties of materials, whether in the solid, liquid, or gas phase, in the T-ray frequency region. Spectroscopy of a liquid or gas often requires a receptacle to confine the sample. In order to allow T-rays to probe the sample effectively, the receptacle must have T-ray transparent windows. However, even thou...
متن کاملBroadband omnidirectional antireflection coatings optimized by genetic algorithm.
An optimized graded-refractive-index (GRIN) antireflection (AR) coating with broadband and omnidirectional characteristics--as desired for solar cell applications--designed by a genetic algorithm is presented. The optimized three-layer GRIN AR coating consists of a dense TiO2 and two nanoporous SiO2 layers fabricated using oblique-angle deposition. The normal incidence reflectance of the three-...
متن کاملWitness sample preparation for measuring antireflection coatings.
Measurement of antireflection coating of witness samples from across the worldwide industry has been shown to have excess variability from a sampling taken for the OSA Topical Meeting on Optical Interference Coatings: Measurement Problem. Various sample preparation techniques have been discussed with their limitations, and a preferred technique is recommended with its justification, calibration...
