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 ...

Several advanced applications require engineers to specify a hard electrochemically deposited gold coating. This coating should be able to integrate the theoretical reflectivity and emissivity of gold ...

This Collection invites original research articles on optical coatings, focusing on advanced materials, fabrication techniques, and applications. We welcome contributions that explore the latest ...

The types of gases used in these processes vary depending on the specific application, but they typically include gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, and argon. Gas analysis plays a significant role in ...

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 ...

For more than a century, optical coatings have been used to better reflect certain wavelengths of light from lenses and other devices or, conversely, to better transmit certain wavelengths through ...

The technology, based on Fano resonance, results in a coating that fully reflects only a very narrow wavelength. The technology could improve the effectiveness of devices that use hybrid ...

Materials get their optical properties based on how much they reflect, absorb or transmit different wavelengths (colors) of light. Usually optical coatings either reflect or transmit a given color of ...

Researchers have developed an optical coating system that combines antifogging and antireflective properties. The new technology could help boost the performance of lidar systems and cameras. “Walking ...

a A FROC consists of two coupled light absorbers; a broadband absorber and a narrowband (Fabry-Perot, FP) absorber. A FROC exhibits a reflection peak at the FP cavity resonance. b The measured ...
