Inhomogeneous interface laser mirror coatings

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Methods of improving the durability of thin-film laser mirror coatings for 10.6 μm using thorium fluoride, zinc selenide, and zinc sulfide materials have been investigated. The largest improvement in film durability was obtained by using inhomogeneous interface fabrication for all the dielectric–dielectric interfaces and by incorporating cerium fluoride protective overcoating material into the film design. Experimental results are given for enhanced reflectors, polarization-selective coatings, and buried-grating aperture-sharing coatings designed for high-power laser applications.
