This document compares the abrasion resistance of different optical coating materials through pictures showing the surface condition of each material after a Bayer test. The pictures show the surface of materials coated with various combinations of SiO2, HfO2, MgF2, and Si3N4 as well as sapphire and reveal their relative abrasion resistance based on the amount of damage visible after the test.
