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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 have developed a coating for optical systems that is both antifogging and anti-reflective, two properties for these systems that so far haven't been possible for one material to provide ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

Research Fellow Dr. Babak Bakhit has encountered one of his most challenging projects to date—contributing to the European Space Agency's (ESA) JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE) mission. Sometimes, ...
