NANOROD COATING BETWEEN TWO OPTICAL MEDIUMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17956750 titled 'NANOROD COATING BETWEEN TWO OPTICAL MEDIUMS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application relates to improving the refractive index of a coating that optically couples with an optical medium by incorporating nanorods in the layers of the coating.

  • Nanorods are included in one or more layers of the coating.
  • Nanorods within each layer have a similar orientation in chemical composition.
  • Nanorods in different layers may have different characteristics such as orientation, size, and chemical composition.

Potential Applications

The technology could be applied in optical devices, displays, lenses, and sensors to enhance optical performance.

Problems Solved

This innovation solves the issue of improving the refractive index of coatings that interact with optical media, leading to better optical coupling and performance.
