A broad-band and omnidirectional antireflection coating consisting of semiconductor nanowires is fabricated. The reflection reduced due to a graded refractive index, which achieved by certain nanorod-length distribution cylindrical conically shaped rods. An increased transmission and, accordingly, are demonstrated for the visible near-infrared parts spectrum.
