Things to do:

• Get micrograph of Cr-Cu-Cr mirrors

• Schedule FTIR analysis for mirrors

• Perform adhesion tests on Cr-Cu-Cr mirrors

• Finalize anti-reflection design

• Modify evaporation set-up to allow evaporation of new film materials.

Page 22: Paper and Progress Report Artoni Kevin R. Ang July 1, 2009.

Paper Report

• Multilayer antireflection coatings for the visible and near-infrared regions– H. Ganesha Shanbhogue, C. L. Nagendra, M. N.

Annapurna, S. Ajith Kumar, and G. K. M. Thutupalli– 1 September 1997 Vol. 36, No. 25 APPLIED OPTICS

Page 23: Paper and Progress Report Artoni Kevin R. Ang July 1, 2009.

Introduction

• Current research involves improving:– optical performance over a wider spectral

range– transmission efficiency– spectral coverage– angle-of-incidence stability– durability– efficiency (residual reflection loss)

Page 24: Paper and Progress Report Artoni Kevin R. Ang July 1, 2009.

Introduction

• Problems:– AR coatings on a variety of glass substrates

• Different indices, chemical compositions, hardness, environmental stability, etc.

– Different uses• Residual reflection loss, transmission efficiency,

angle of incidence stablity, etc.

Conclusions

1. IRL R*, Rav, ripple Rmax are interlinked to spectral bandwidth. The higher the bandwidth, the higher R*/Rav and the Rmax.

2.Higher-ripple designs can also have global optical properties (R*/Rav and Tav) that are comparable with those of lower-ripple designs but they have higher spectral instability.

Page 42: Paper and Progress Report Artoni Kevin R. Ang July 1, 2009.

Conclusions

3. Sub2 high-index material in combination withMgF2 allows the production of efficient AR coatings with the electron-beam evaporation technique, in terms of both optical properties and durability of the coatings.
