Abstract

A coated article comprising: a substrate; a first dielectric layer comprising a metal oxide, a metal alloy oxide, or a combination thereof, and having a thickness of at most 40 nm over at least a portion of the substrate; a second dielectric layer having a thickness of at most 40 nm over at least a portion of the first dielectric layer; a third dielectric layer comprising a metal oxide, a metal alloy oxide, or a combination thereof, and having a thickness of at least 130 nm over at least a portion of the second dielectric layer; and a fourth dielectric layer having a thickness of at least 130 nm over at least a portion of the third dielectric layer; wherein the coated article transmits at least 75% of light from a light source having a wavelength between 800 nm and 1,050 nm when contacted at 60 degrees with the light.
