Interference coatings

Interference coatings are thin layers of specialized materials applied to surfaces, such as lenses or glasses, to control how light interacts with them. These coatings work by causing specific wavelengths of light to cancel each other out through a process called interference. This can reduce reflections, glare, or improve the transmission of light through the surface. The coatings are engineered at a microscopic level, often just a few atoms thick, allowing for precise manipulation of light behavior, resulting in clearer images, less eye strain, or enhanced durability of the material.
