Certain examples relate to a method of making an antireflective (AR) coating supported by a glass substrate. The anti-reflection coating may include porous metal oxide(s) and/or silica, and may be produced using a sol-gel process. The pores may be formed and/or tuned in each layer respectively in such a manner that the coating ultimately may comprise a porous matrix, graded with respect to porosity. The gradient in porosity may be achieved by forming first and second layers using one or more of (a) nanoparticles of different shapes and/or sizes, (b) porous nanoparticles having varying pore sizes, and/or (c) compounds/materials of various types, sizes, and shapes that may ultimately be removed from the coating post-deposition (e.g., carbon structures, micelles, etc., removed through combustion, calcination, ozonolysis, solvent-extraction, etc.), leaving spaces where the removed materials were previously located.

A transparent dielectric composition comprising tin, oxygen and one of aluminum or magnesium with preferably higher than 15% by weight of aluminum or magnesium offers improved thermal stability over tin oxide with respect to appearance and optical properties under high temperature processes. For example, upon a heat treatment at temperatures higher than 500 C, changes in color and index of refraction of the present transparent dielectric composition are noticeably less than those of tin oxide films of comparable thickness. The transparent dielectric composition can be used in high transmittance, low emissivity coated panels, providing thermal stability so that there are no significant changes in the coating optical and structural properties, such as visible transmission, IR reflectance, microscopic morphological properties, color appearance, and haze characteristics, of the as-coated and heated treated products.

A system and method of calibrating optical measuring equipment includes optically measuring discrete objects of a first known predictable pattern from a calibration apparatus, wherein the first known predictable pattern is a bit pattern. A recording surface optical reader is calibrated based on the optically measuring. Using the first known predictable pattern, contamination is filtered from the results of the optically measuring.

Methods for forming Cu—In—Ga—N (CIGN) layers for use in TFPV solar panels are described using reactive PVD deposition in a nitrogen containing atmosphere. In some embodiments, the CIGN layers can be used as an absorber layer and eliminate the need of a selenization step. In some embodiments, the CIGN layers can be used as a protective layer to decrease the sensitivity of the CIG layer to oxygen or moisture before the selenization step. In some embodiments, the CIGN layers can be used as an adhesion layer to improve the adhesion between the back contact layer and the absorber layer.
