AR structures

In the 1960s, it was discovered that the structures on the surface of moth eyes allow very significant reduction of light reflection.

Since then, this property has played a major role in many technical applications. This includes optics and display technology.

Antireflection structures

With the help of laser interference lithography, temicon is a manufacturer and supplier of moth-eye structures as nickel tools or polymer and glass components.

  • Reflection can be reduced over a broad wavelength range (VIS to IR) to values as low as 0.2%.
  • Low residual reflection even at high angles of incidence.

Temicon currently offers the following anti-reflective structures as nickel tools or polymer replications:
