The results of optical and chemical investigations on the anti‐reflective layers obtained by Ar + implantation on a soda‐lime fiat glass are presented and discussed. The antireflective effect is ascribed to the appearance of an interferential layer with a perturbed refractive index and a lower Na content than the bulk glass and can be optimized by choosing a suitable range of implantation energies and doses. Sodium depth profiles were measured with the 23 Na( p, α ) 20 Ne nuclear resonance reaction and the results compared with the information provided by the specular reflectance curves.
