Case Western Reserve researchers, collaborators create new class of thin film coating; innovative technology could solve major hurdles for solar energy generation Researchers at Case Western Reserve ...

Coatings produced via atomic layer deposition (ALD) or ion-beam sputtering (IBS) offer dense film structure, superior ...

The types of gases used in these processes vary depending on the specific application, but they typically include gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, and argon. Gas analysis plays a significant role in ...

U.S. researchers have developed a new class of optical coatings that could make PV cells last six times longer than usual, which in turn could reduce the cost of replacing worn-out cells. The project ...

Photonic coatings are based on their optical properties which are applied in electronics and are associated with biomimetic fabrication, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, etc. As stated above, these ...

For thin film optical coatings, most critical production challenges appear in the first half of the manufacturing cycle, particularly in coating deposition methodologies. As explained by Ron Willey, ...

Researchers led by a team at Spain's Technical University of Madrid (ISOM-UPM) have demonstrated a broadband antireflective coating (ARC) for gallium arsenide-based solar cells. The nanostructured ...

A recent survey shows that an average person spends almost 7 hours (six hours and 55 minutes to be precise) in front of a screen daily. This equates to 40 percent of waking hours. In some countries, ...

An optical coating is a thin-film deposit used to enhance transmission, change reflective properties, or change the polarization of light transmitted through an optical component. An optical coating ...

Special Eyes Optical has published a new article titled “Anti-Reflective Coating for Kids’ Glasses: Is It Worth the Investment?“, offering parents a practical breakdown of whether anti-reflective (AR) ...
