  text: "Aiming to diminish the reflection losses of glass covered light harvesting
    devices, the optical reflectivity\r\nof nanostructured glass surfaces is studied
    theoretically and experimentally. The work is inspired by\r\nthe nanoscale roughness
    of insect eyes, which is tried to be replicated on a technical glass surface.
    To\r\nthis end, the reflectivity of glass surfaces with topographies represented
    by linear, parabolic and Fermishaped\r\nglass/air fill factor profiles is calculated
    for normal incidence. It is shown that using the latter ones,\r\nan almost complete
    suppression of reflections can be achieved. A simple, self-organization technique
    to\r\ncreate such Fermi-shaped filling factor profiles in glass experimentally
    is also presented."
