  • Example AR Coating Curve (Guidance only)

    AR coating curve chart titled “440–850 nm BBAR on <110> TeO2,” showing reflection percentage plotted against wavelength from 400 to 850 nanometres. The curve starts high at around 4.5% near 400 nm, drops steeply below 1% by about 450 nm, remains low across most of the visible range with a shallow minimum around 700 to 730 nm near 0.2 to 0.3%, and then rises gradually again toward about 0.9% at 850 nm, illustrating broadband antireflection performance over a wide wavelength range.
