Anti-Reflective Optical Structures for Optical Systems - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18119591 titled 'Anti-Reflective Optical Structures for Optical Systems
Simplified Explanation
The patent application discloses anti-reflective optical structures with sub-wavelength structures to create index of refraction gradients, reducing light reflection over a wide range of wavelengths.
- Sub-wavelength structures are used to create index of refraction gradients within the anti-reflective optical structures.
- The gradients help in reducing reflection of light across a broad band of wavelengths.
Potential Applications
- Solar panels
- Camera lenses
- Display screens
Problems Solved
- Minimizing reflection of light
- Improving optical performance
Benefits
- Enhanced optical clarity
- Increased efficiency in light transmission
- Improved performance of optical devices
Original Abstract Submitted
Anti-reflective optical structures are disclosed. The anti-reflective optical structures include sub-wavelength structures in order to produce one or more index of refraction gradients within the anti-reflective optical structures. The one or more index of refraction gradients can reduce reflection of light over a broad band of wavelengths.
