Next generation near infrared interference coatings with ultra-low stress and losses for deformable mirror applications

Abstract

Next generation near infrared interference coatings with ultra-low stress and losses for deformable mirror applicationsAbstract:T"his project will demonstrate ion beam sputtering multilayer dielectric coatings with low stress (~100 MPa), parts per million absor"ption loss and capable to withstand 100KW/cm2 irradiancesat 1 micron wavelength when incorporated into a deformable mirror (DM). Field testing of thecoatings~ performance on DMs is planned in collaboration with industry. The successfuldemonstration of low stres"s, low absorption loss interference coatings broadly impacts highenergy lasers for directed energy.
