Abstract

An optical body and a method of producing same comprising a transparent plastic substrate composed of an acrylate, preferably polymethylmethacrylate, depositing a first coat having a high refraction index on the substrate by vaporizing an oxide mixture of substantially zirconium dioxide with a content of 4 to 15 percent weight percent of aluminum oxide and depositing a second coat having a low refractive index by devaporization in a vacuum of a borosilicate glass containing less than 5 weight-percent of alkali metal oxides. The application of at least the first coat is performed in an oxidizing residual gas atmosphere.
