Simple antireflection overcoat for opaque coatings in the submillimeter region

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

An antireflection overcoat for opaque baffle coatings in the far-IR/submillimeter region has been made from a simple Teflon spray-on lubricant. The Teflon overcoat reduced the specular reflectance of four different opaque coatings by nearly a factor of 2. Analysis, based on the interference term of a reflecting-layer model, indicates that in the submillimeter region the reduced reflectance depends primarily on the refractive index of the overcoat and very little on its thickness.
