Designing a single layer anti-reflection (AR) coating on silicon using magnesium fluoride (MgF2) involves understanding the refractive index calculations. A specific formula, ([n2-n1]/[n2+n1])^2, is used for determining reflectance, but issues arise when plotting results against wavelengths from 300 to 1000 nm. Clarification is needed regarding the discrepancies between the actual and expected results. Providing specific details about the obtained results and the anticipated outcomes will help diagnose the problem more effectively. Accurate plotting and understanding of the refractive indices are crucial for successful AR coating design.
