This type of coating is an antireflection coating, and the optimum refractive index of the coating (nc) to minimize the total reflection coefficient is given by the geometric mean of the two materials that made up the original interface:

Antireflection coatings can be improved by adding more layers. The materials and thicknesses used to make a highly efficient optical coating can be modelled with specialized software. Some coatings can have hundreds of layers and can reduce the reflection coefficient to less than 1% at specific wavelengths.

An everyday application of antireflective coatings is on corrective lenses to improve their aesthetics and to reduce the glare that the wearer can see. A more specialized application of an antireflection coating is on solar cells to reduce the reflection losses that reduce efficiency. Other applications include coatings on camera lenses and on some components used for optical experiments with lasers.

Anti Reflective coatingPhysics

Antireflection coatings minimize the reflection of one or many wavelengths and are typically used on the surface of lenses so that less light is lost. A simple coating can be designed to minimize the reflection on an interface between two materials by providing an extra material for light to interact with. This can reduce the total reflection coefficient of the system by having light reflect from two interfaces where each interface has a smaller difference in refraction indices than the original interface.

Antireflection coatings can get more efficient by taking advantage of the interference effects described by the wave theory of light to minimize the reflection of a particular set of wavelengths. These coatings induce interference effects by allowing the light to reflect and transmit in ways that would not happen on a bare substrate.

In the case of air and glass, the optimum antireflective coating would have a refractive index of approximately 1.23. No real material has this ideal index, but magnesium fluoride (MgF2) is often used because its refractive index of 1.38 comes closest to the ideal value.

After calibration, the stage micrometer is shipped with a certificate of calibration showing the actual dimensions measured, calibration equipment used, environmental conditions, N.I.S.T. traceable test number and certificate serial number. This serial number is also engraved into the glass of the stage micrometer.

This NIST slide micrometer includes 10 points of calibration. For example, if you had a 1mm scale with sub-divisions every 0.1mm, therefore every division line will be calibrated, that would consist of 10 calibration points (0 to .1mm, 0 to .2mm, 0 to .3mm etc.). Any point thereafter is $35.00 each. Customer is to specify points to be calibrated. Calibrated items cannot be returned if ordered incorrectly.

When there is a coating between air and glass, some incident light reflects at the air/coating interface, and some light is transmitted and reflects at the coating/glass interface. The light that is reflected from the coating/glass interface travels twice through the thickness of the coating.
