    Abstract: Anti-sparkle substrates include a plurality of features extending from a first major surface of the anti-sparkle substrate. In aspects, a feature of the plurality of features includes a feature concentration of one or more of silver, rubidium, or cesium that is non-zero at the first major surface and is greater than a corresponding concentration of a region of the first major surface excluding the plurality of features. In aspects, a feature of the plurality of features includes a gradient refractive index profile. A feature refractive index of the feature at the first major surface is greater than a substrate refractive index by about 0.03 or more. Methods include exposing a plurality of portions of a first major surface of a substrate to a source of one or more of silver ions, rubidium ions, or cesium ions to form a plurality of features in that include the plurality of portions.

    Abstract: An optical metasurface includes a substrate and a plurality of nanostructures extending from a surface of the substrate and constructed of a material having an index of refraction. The plurality of nanostmctures are arranged in a plurality of unit cells comprising a dimension that is less than or equal to twice an effective wavelength of light incident on the optical metasurface, divided by the sinusoid of a deflection angle that the optical metasurface is designed to deflect the light. The plurality of nanostructures are asymmetrically arranged along a deflection direction. A unit cell aspect ratio of the plurality of nanostmctures is greater than or equal to 3, and a product of the unit cell aspect ratio and the index of refraction of the material is greater than or equal to 8.

    Abstract: A textured article is described herein comprising a substrate comprising a textured region defined on a primary surface of the substrate, in which the textured region comprises (a) a Vmp/Sq of at least 0.084, (b) a Vmp/Sq of at least 0.084 and an Smrk2 of at least 90%, and/or (c) a Vmp of at least 10 nm and an Sdq of 0-0.1. The textured article generally has good abrasion resistance and optical properties including antiglare, haze, sparkle, and distinctness of image. A method for making a textured article is also described herein comprising removing a first portion of a primary surface of a substrate through holes penetrating through a stop layer to the primary surface to form seed depressions and unremoved portions, removing the stop layer, and then removing a second portion of the primary surface comprising the seed depressions and the unremoved portions.
