Demonstrates the fabrication of an armor-protected anti-reflection surface, indicating enhanced durability in optical components.

The aim is to develop a durable anti-reflection surface that maintains high optical performance even after abrasion.
Designed a double-sided nanocone structure with an armor layer.
Utilized photolithography to pattern a square grid armor on fused silica.
Employed reactive ion etching to create nanocones on the substrate.
Conducted abrasion testing to evaluate mechanical wear and performance.
Increased average transmittance from 93.43% to 98.31% over the wavelength range of 800–1200 nm.
Post-abrasion, the transmittance remained at approximately 97.85% with no significant damage observed.
Demonstrated exceptional mechanical robustness of the structure against wear.

Tian et al. (2026) studied this question.
