  • Reflection-Reducing Layer System and Method for Producing A Reflection-Reducing Layer System
    Publication number: 20220018993
    Abstract: In an embodiment a layer system includes an effective refractive index profile extending between a substrate-side surface and an interface with an ambient medium, wherein an effective refractive index of the layer system decreases on average from the substrate-side surface in a direction of the interface with the ambient medium, wherein the effective refractive index profile has at least two local minima, and wherein a local minimum closest to the interface with the ambient medium is spaced from the interface.
