Abstract

See full text

An optical arrangement includes a transmissive or reflective substrate having a first surface on which a multi-layer antireflection stack is formed. The antireflection stack is protected by a fluorocarbon lubricating layer that reduces the surface energy of the exposed surface to less than 40 dynes/cm, and preferably less than 20 dynes/cm. The fluorocarbon lubricating layer and a silane adhesion promotion layer form a durable topcoat having desired mechanical and optical characteristics. The preferred material for forming the lubricating layer is a fluoropolymer sold by 3M Company under the federally registered trademark FLUORAD.
