  • Example AR Coating Curve (Guidance only)

    AR coating curve chart titled “830 nm V-coat Calculated Reflectance vs. Wavelength,” showing reflectance per surface plotted against wavelength from 700 to 1100 nanometres. The single blue curve drops from about 1.5% at 700 nm to a minimum just above 0.1% near 830 nm, then rises steadily to about 2.5% by 1100 nm, indicating the coating’s best antireflection performance around 830 nm.
