Abstract
The ever-increasing demand for broadband antireflection (AR) coatings has led to a growing interest in nanolaminates (NLs) with tunable properties. However, achieving excellent optical performance in NLs can be challenging due to multiple interfaces and a rather thin sublayer. In this study, we systematically investigated the factor that deteriorates the optical performance, focusing on the sublayer thickness deviation, sublayer n deviation, and interfacial diffusion, to correct the n-profiles of NLs. A pre-correction strategy for the AR coating design is proposed and experimentally demonstrated via plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition. The excellent fit of the spectrum demonstrates that the proposed design strategy can benefit structure-sensitive NL-based coatings.
