In this present research study, a novel and efficient optimization approach for designing multilayer anti-reflection coatings (ARCs) with ultra-low reflectivity. Such coatings found a promising application in the field of optoelectronic device. Designing such coatings is challenging because of the complex, nonlinear search space, which often includes multiple local minima. To address this, we propose a simple, reliable, and effective optimization method, the Jaya algorithm, for the design of broadband multilayer thin-film structures. An interactive simulation programme was developed in LabVIEW based on the Jaya algorithm to facilitate the design process. A systematic study was conducted to determine suitable values for key algorithm parameters, including the search space range, number of iterations, and population size. The algorithm iteratively adjusts the thickness of each layer in the AR stack, using algorithm’s built-in search mechanism to converge on optimal values. Results show that the Jaya algorithm consistently converges to reliable layer thickness values. The developed program demonstrates successful optimization of AR coatings with ultra-low reflectivity across a broad wavelength range. Validation in the near-infrared (NIR) region confirms that the method can achieve average reflectivity (R) below 10⁻³ over a 200 nm bandwidth, using various material combinations within the multilayer stack.
