Optical coatings for aerospace applications encompass thin-film layers deposited onto transparencies, lenses, sensors, and optical elements to control reflectance, transmittance, and spectral filtering, using processes such as physical vapour deposition (PVD), chemical vapour deposition (CVD), and magnetron sputtering, with materials including magnesium fluoride, silicon dioxide, titanium dioxide, and multilayer dielectric stacks.
