Abstract:
Provided is an antireflection film having excellent abrasion resistance.In the antireflection film, a hydrogenated carbon film as a first layer is formed on a surface of an optical substrate. A MgF2 film as a second layer having a lower refractive index than the first layer is formed on the first layer. Likewise, a third layer formed of the hydrogenated carbon film, a fourth layer formed of the MgF2 film, and a fifth layer formed of the hydrogenated carbon film are formed. During the formation of the hydrogenated carbon film, a mixed gas of argon and hydrogen is supplied to a vacuum chamber such that some of C—C bonds in the film are replaced with C—H bonds. Due to the C—H bonds, an antireflection film having excellent abrasion resistance and adhesiveness and having a low refractive index can be obtained.

The antireflection film is provided on a surface of a light-transmitting substrate and includes a thin multi-layer film and a fine unevenness layer that are laminated in this order from the substrate side. The thin multi-layer film includes multiple layers. The fine unevenness layer has a structure in which an uneven structure having a shorter average pitch than a wavelength of used light is provided and in which a refractive index to the used light changes continuously depending on a continuous change in a space occupation of the uneven structure in a thickness direction of the thin multi-layer film. The multiple layers include: an oxide film having a relatively high refractive index that is formed of at least two metal elements or is formed of silicon and at least one metal element; and an oxynitride film having a relatively low refractive index.

Adhesiveness of the antireflection film 3 is higher than that In a case where the surface of the chalcogenide glass 2 is evenly coated with the antireflection materials 3A.
Abstract:
An antireflection multilayer film is formed by alternately laminating high refractive index layers and low refractive index layers having indexes of refraction different from each other. The high refractive index layer is an oblique deposition layer formed by depositing an inorganic material such as tantalum pentoxide onto the surface of an optical element from a diagonal direction, and has minute internal structures composed of slant columnar structures growing along to the deposition direction. The low refractive index layer is an isotropic and dense layer.
