We proposed a facile approach for rapid and maskless production of zinc sulfide microstructure used as antireflective and hydrophobic surface by direct laser interference ablation. This surface could improve the infrared transmittance from 75% to 92%; and the problem of bad film adhesion, corrosion resistance, and the thermal expansion mismatch in the antireflective coating membrane were solved. By this method a quick and simple fabrication, and a large-area production as well as the hydrophobic properties with a contact angle of 145° can be realized. Hence this approach can have future broad applications in areas of optoelectronics, solar energy, aerospace, and infrared guidance etc.
