Title: All-Glass Metasurfaces for Ultra-Broadband and Large Acceptance Angle Antireflectivity: from Ultraviolet to Mid-Infrared

Abstract

Abstract For many optics technologies, such as display screens, solar cells, laser systems, and eyeglasses, antireflective (AR) coatings are well integrated; these applications frequently benefit from the ability to function as broadband AR. Here, all‐glass metasurfaces are reported on, exhibiting a measured reflectance of 0.18% ± 0.23% per interface, averaged across wavelengths spanning from 350 nm (ultraviolet) to 2350 nm (mid‐infrared); to the best of knowledge, this is the first‐ever demonstration of an AR layer capable of this. Furthermore, acceptance angles up to 100° (angle of incidence = ±50°) results in % R < 0.6% per interface over the band 350–1300 nm for P‐polarization and S‐polarization, with wavelength averaged reflectance values 0.04% ± 0.05% and 0.11% ± 0.15%, respectively – another technological first. The process advancements presented here allow for reflectance suppression over a broad range of wavelengths, angles, and polarizations.
