  • Example AR Coating Curve (Guidance only)

    AR coating curve chart titled “1064 nm V-coat Calculated Reflectance vs. Wavelength,” showing reflectance per surface plotted against wavelength from 800 to 1400 nanometres. The single blue curve falls from about 2.2% at 800 nm to a minimum close to 0% near 1064 nm, then rises steadily again to about 2.4% by 1400 nm, indicating the coating’s optimum antireflection performance at approximately 1064 nm.
