Quarterwave antireflective coatings of CaF/sub 2/ and MgF/sub 2/ have been prepared on fused silica and calcium fluoride substrates from colloidal suspensions of the relevant fluorides in methanol. These coatings have high optical efficiency and laser damage thresholds at 350 nm in the 6--8-J/cm/sup 2/ range for single shots of 0.6-ns pulse length and 20--25 J/cm/sup 2/ for 25-Hz multishots of 25-ns pulse length.
