SUMMARY
To achieve a 10-degree half view angle for reflected light in the visual spectrum on a 3D shape sized at approximately 2 millimeters, specific optical coatings are required. The discussion highlights the use of dielectric coatings, particularly those designed for narrowband reflection, which can effectively control the angle of reflection. Alex's inquiry emphasizes the importance of selecting the right materials and coating techniques to optimize optical performance for small-scale applications.
