Abstract

This article describes the principle which underlies the receiving two-layer coating having a high antireflection and heat regulating properties, used for the universal coating system. It has been experimentally shown that the anti-reflection coating, consisting of two layers, expands the range of low reflection and reduce the series resistance of the elements due to the high electrical conductivity of the film. As a result, the optical properties of various antisolyarizators selected the best option that will improve the cut in the protective coating of UV radiation and increase the concentration of ions. The mechanism of protective action, which prevents the formation of color centers in the visible region of the spectrum. Also provides a comparison of the various one-, two - and three-layer antireflection coatings on silicon substrates with subsequent determination of the optimum thickness and refractive index of each layer.
