Abstract

An ultraviolet and infrared reflecting coating with a wide transmission band and a solar cell cover on which the coating has been deposited. The coating contains a multilayer bandpass filter, and some of the layers of this filter are comprised of mixed materials which have a selectable index of refraction. The design can be optimized by varying the index or refraction of at least one of the layers of mixed material.
