1. An anti-reflection coating for a substrate, comprising:
- at least first second third and fourth layers, said layers numbered in consecutive numerical order beginning with the layer furthest from the substrate;
said first layer including a having a refractive index between about 1.35 and 1.7 and an extinction coefficient less than about 0.1 at a wavelength of about 520 nanometers, said first layer having an optical thickness of about one-quarter wavelength of visible light;
said second layer being a layer of chromium having a thickness between about 0.5 and 5.0 nanometers;
said third layer including a material having a refractive index between about 1.35 and 2.65 and an extinction coefficient less than about 0.1 at a wavelength of about 520 nanometers, said third layer having an optical thickness less than about one-quarter wavelength of visible light; and
said fourth layer including titanium nitride and having a thickness between about 10.0 and 40.0 nanometers.
