Medical - Medical: Dentistry / dental imaging | | German term or phrase: "interferenzoptisch entspiegelt" | | TFT Monitor mit interferenzoptisch entspiegeltem Schutzglas: non-reflective protective glass to prevent optical interference? If this is correct, is there a snappier way of saying it? |
| | | anti-reflective (coating) based on the principle of optical interference | Explanation:
'interferenzoptisch' is an adverb here and modifies 'entspiegelt'. It means that the glass has an anti-reflective coating that works on the principle of optical interference. In other words, the coating has two partially reflective surfaces, and the coating thickness is such that light waves reflected from these two surfaces are 180 degrees out of phase at the external surface and thus cancel each other out.
You could also say 'protective glass with an optical-interference anti-reflective coating'.
