    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Antireflection coatings are crucial for minimizing unwanted light reflections in optical systems.
    • Existing models often face limitations in achieving broad spectral performance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a novel theoretical model for multilayer antireflection coatings.
    • To introduce a new design concept for enhanced spectral performance.

    Main Methods:

    • The study is based on the theory of all-dielectric Fabry-Perot interference filters.
    • Effective interfaces and a novel 'replacement pair' concept are employed.

    Main Results:

    • The incorporation of the replacement pair significantly reduces reflectance over a wide spectral range.
    • The theoretical model was successfully applied to design and discuss three distinct coating examples.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed theoretical model and replacement pair concept offer an effective approach for designing high-performance multilayer antireflection coatings.
    • Understanding the parameters influencing low reflectance is key for optimizing coating design.
