Narrowband AR ("V") (AR-V) Coatings

Commonly called a "V" coating because of its spectral shape, narrowband AR coatings are the simplest of the multilayer coatings and are used whenever the application involves a single wavelength. A "V" coating usually achieves reflectivity of <0.25% at the design wavelength.

Reflectivity (per surface)	<0.25% at design wavelength
Practical Bandwidth	Usually 12% of the design wavelength between 0.5% points
Wavelength Range	400 nm to 1500 nm
Substrates	Fused Quartz/Fused Silica (all grades) Any Optical Glass Other materials upon request
Durability	Per MIL-C-48497A
Variation	"V" coatings that minimize reflections at TWO wavelengths are also possible. For more information please Contact Esco.
Order As	AR-V
Please Specify	Substrate Material/Part Number Surface(s) to be coated Design Wavelength Angle of incidence
