Anti-reflective coating: Not a clearer picture?
Anti-reflective coatings to reduce unwanted reflections from surfaces and are often at stake, photographic and optical lenses used instrument. Reflections are a problem for those wearing glasses. Power-rings, which are particularly evident in lower targets by multiple reflections on the lens surface. If these are reduced by external and internal reflection, light transmission isincreased, becoming clearer. Reflection reduced also reduces glare and 'ghosting', with night driving or working at the computer screen, greatly reduces eye fatigue will be observed. Aesthetically speaking, an anti-reflective coating allows a wearer's eye and face are most clearly seen by an observer.
In the Beginning
The basic principle of an anti-reflective layer is called "destructive interference". Antiglareare possible because the light as a wave, and we rely on the use of the technique of destructive interference. If the coating thickness is a quarter wavelength, the reflection from the front and rear of the coating is out of phase with each other cancel each other out, then, and there is no reflection visible.
For an anti-reflective coating to work, the index of refraction of the coating material must be equal to the square root of the lens refractiveMaterial. Anti-reflective coatings are particularly suited to high index lenses.
Cons
One of the main complaints of wearing glasses on the anti-reflective coatings is that they are difficult to keep clean. However, they are not aware that without the coating, which effectively masks unwanted reflections dirt, stains or smudges on the lens.
This is also the case of scratches that become clearer on an anti-reflective lens coating. The scratch is naturallybe cleaned frequently or, so it is important not to dry with a paper towel or shirt to clean the lenses, especially if it is in shadow.
Pro
Reflective coatings today for the most part, an additional hydrophobic coating that repels water and grease. This marking will be spraying water, and avoid a reduction in the static structure, makes them easier to clean.
The advantages of the "new" anti-reflective coatings are:
Easy to clean
Scratchresistant
Durability
HEAT RESISTANCE
Visual Clarity
Cosmetics (lenses look invisible - such as TV presenters)
Better transmission of light during night driving aids
