Refinement and thin film synthesis methods were used by members of six different institutions to design antireflection coatings for germanium substrates. The solutions are based on the use of zinc sulfide and germanium layers only. Several systems were found with an average reflectance that is less than 1% in the 7.7 to 12.3 microm spectral region.
