Case Western Reserve researchers, collaborators create new class of thin film coating; innovative technology could solve major hurdles for solar energy generation Researchers at Case Western Reserve ...

Optical coating is a key part of optical components, which integrates optics, electronics, materials and coatings. Optical films prepared by optical coatings have been widely used in the field of ...

Photonic coatings are based on their optical properties which are applied in electronics and are associated with biomimetic fabrication, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, etc. As stated above, these ...

U.S. researchers have developed a new class of optical coatings that could make PV cells last six times longer than usual, which in turn could reduce the cost of replacing worn-out cells. The project ...

Anti-Reflection (AR) coatings represent a key innovation in optics. AR coatings are central to the proper manipulation of light, mitigating Fresnel reflection, enhancing system throughput and ...

For thin film optical coatings, most critical production challenges appear in the first half of the manufacturing cycle, particularly in coating deposition methodologies. As explained by Ron Willey, ...

Researchers led by a team at Spain's Technical University of Madrid (ISOM-UPM) have demonstrated a broadband antireflective coating (ARC) for gallium arsenide-based solar cells. The nanostructured ...

Spin coating is a widely used technique for depositing thin, uniform films onto flat substrates. It involves the application of a liquid material onto a rotating substrate, which spreads the material ...

Scientists have developed a new type of coating that, when applied on a plastic surface, prevents fogging and 'self-cleans', overcoming the need for frequent reapplications. Scientists at Nanyang ...
