Anti-Reflection Coating
Katharine Blodgett at General Electric, working with Irving Langmuir, learned to build soap-like films one molecule-thick layer at a time. Stacking just enough layers onto glass, she made it nearly invisible: light reflected from the top of the film and from the glass beneath cancelled out.
**US 2,220,861**, "Reduction of surface reflection", Blodgett, assigned to General Electric, filed 16. June 1938, granted 5. November 1940: a coating whose "optical thickness … corresponds at least approximately to a quarter wave length of visible light" and whose refractive index is "intermediate" between air and the glass.
**You measure the reflection a coating removes**, design one in a notebook, and watch quarter-wave interference happen in a soap film.

Clip the solar cell to the multimeter (DC mA). In a dim room shine the laser straight onto the cell and note the current. Then bounce the beam off a clean microscope slide, close to perpendicular, onto the cell. Note that current. Never look along the beam.

Dip the loop and hold it upright in front of black card, lit by a window behind you. Colour bands slide down as the film drains; at the top a black band appears - a film too thin to reflect.

History & Context
History & Context
**What the patent specifies:** a surface layer of quarter-wave optical thickness with a refractive index between those of the surrounding medium and the glass. **Modern build (derived):** measurement and design only - production coatings are evaporated in vacuum.
Blodgett's stearate films were too soft to wipe clean. Alexander Smakula at Zeiss had developed coatings evaporated in vacuum in 1935; that durable route won, and today almost every camera lens and eyeglass is coated, often with many layers. Their limits: a single layer is perfect at only one wavelength, and coatings scratch.
