OPTOM 316 FINAL Flashcards
1
Q
Anti-reflection
A
Transmits more wavelengths, reflection canceled out if reflection from front and back of coating is 180 out of phase. Coating is 1/4 wavelength. High RI lens needs AR coat due to lots of reflection
2
Q
Mirror coat
A
High reflective surface via constructive interference, coating is 1/2 wavelength. Allows different coloured mirror coats. Needs tint to reduce own eye reflection
3
Q
Single layer AR
A
For glass lens, one wavelength, thickness of coat changes wavelengths reflected
