anti-reflection coating
subjectfact 
anti-reflection coatinghas definition Also AR coating. A layer of material of lower refractive index of just the right thickness (1/4 wave) is deposited on the optical surface to be coated. More complex coatings are possible which cover a large wavelength range.has source: McLean, I.S. 1997 Electronic Imaging in Astronomy, Wiley, 2001-09-27 09:27:40.0
