Ion-beam-assisted deposition as a method for production of effective optical coatings

The optical parameters of thin ( d ≈ 100 nm) film coatings of ZnS, LiF and MgF 2 produced by ion-beam-assisted deposition have been investigated using spectrophotometry and ellipsometry techniques. It is observed that coatings produced by ion-beam-assisted deposition are less porous and more stable...

Description
Summary:The optical parameters of thin ( d ≈ 100 nm) film coatings of ZnS, LiF and MgF 2 produced by ion-beam-assisted deposition have been investigated using spectrophotometry and ellipsometry techniques. It is observed that coatings produced by ion-beam-assisted deposition are less porous and more stable to moisture influence; meanwhile their adhesion strengths are 15%–20% higher than those for coatings produced without ion bombardment.
