MEGARA is the new integral field unit (IFU) and multi-object (MOS) spectrograph successfully commissioned at Gran Telescopio Canarias, in August 2017. MEGARA provides spectral resolutions R (fwhm) ~ 6000, 12000 and 20000, via volume phase holographic gratings, at very high efficiency in both IFU and MOS modes. In the case of MEGARA main optics and pupil elements optics, the surfaces in contact with air have an anti-reflective (AR) coatings to minimize the Fresnel losses at the interface glass-air. In this work we present the designs and calculation of the total throughput of the optical system based in the transmission measurements of the AR coated witness samples. The results reflect the benefits of having implemented customized AR coatings for the mean angle of incidence on each surface as the measured throughput was better than the requirements. We analyze the effects of the pupil elements AR coatings for each spectral configuration.
