Abstract

The optical properties of a single layer antireflection coating for solar elements based on a composition of Ge and GeO2 are studied. The results of computer modeling and optical measurements led to the conclusion that a single layer coating based on a composition of Ge and GeO2 is an efficient antireflection coating and has technological advantages as compared with the traditionally used coatings.
