Coating Science and Technology

Abstract

The objective of this research program was to develop a thorough understanding of the science and technology of films applied as coatings on materials transparent to 10.6 and 3-5 micron radiation. The approach included preparation of films by sputtering, evaporation and CVD techniques. Topics discussed include the following: Selection of materials; Preparation of substrate surface; First-layer films of germanium on potassium chloride substrates; First-layer films of cadmium telluride on potassium chloride; Tetrahedral carbon films; Plasma-polymerized films; Durability testing of thin films; Determination of stress-optic coefficient of ZnSe at 10.6 micrometers.
