Abstract

The transmittance and scattering of the antireflection (AR) coatings based on nanostructured Ag and silica medium were enhanced by the exploitation of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). The transmittance and scattering values of AR coatings are relative to the annealing temperature, Ag concentration and thickness of AR coatings. The transmittance values of 95.7% and 97.2% of AR coatings with 0.10 wt.% Ag and annealed at 400 °C were obtained in the visible wavelength for a single-side and double-side coated glass slides, respectively. The enhanced transmittance and scattering of the AR coatings are primarily attributable to the large forward scattering of nanostructured Ag and the lesser refractive indices of Ag/SiO 2 coatings.
