Abstract
A method and system for designing and manufacturing a high-performance, optimized optical interference coatings that have a minimal number of layers. Index of refraction, absorption coefficient, and thickness values are selected for each of the layers in the design so as to cause the reflectance of a coated object to be zero for a given wavelength. Materials that with the selected properties are manufactured by mixing two or more preexisting available materials.
