Contamination-resistant silica antireflective coating with closed ordered mesopores.
Porous silica optical antireflective (AR) coatings prepared by traditional sol-gel method have been extensively used for high power laser systems, but a serious drawback is that contamination existing in the high vacuum is easily absorbed by the disordered open pore structure, resulting in a fast decrease in transmittance. To improve the stability of transmittance in vacuum, a contamination-res...
متن کاملContamination Resistant Sol-Gel Antireflective Coatings
Silica-based sol-gel antireflective (AR) optical coatings are critical components of high peak power laser systems. Water vapor and volatile organic compounds can contaminate these coatings, reducing both their antireflective efficiency and laser-damage resistance. Previous work has shown that alkylation of free hydroxyl groups on the silica sol-gel with organosilicon compounds in solution can ...
متن کاملAbrasion Resistant Anti-Reflective Sol-Gel Coatings
Many optics in both the OMEGA and OMEGA EP lasers are coated with anti-reflective (AR) silane sol-gel to maximize their transmittance. Although these coatings are highly resistant to both airborne contaminants and laser damage, they are susceptible to mechanical damage by abrasion, and thus require extra care during the handling, installation and alignment of sol-gel optics. Previous “hardened”...

A super-hydrophobic surface has been obtained from nanocomposite materials based on silica nanoparticles and self-assembled monolayers of 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane (POTS) using spin coating and chemical vapor deposition methods. Scanning electron microscope images reveal the porous structure of the silica nanoparticles, which can trap small-scale air pockets. An average water co...
متن کاملSol-gel derived antireflective coating with controlled thickness and reflective index
Optical properties and structure of antireflective coatings (AR) deposited from hydrolysed TEOS sol have been characterized in detail. The influence of various parameters on the formation of colloidal silica antireflective coatings by the dip-coating technique has been investigated. For the characterization of colloidal silica films, the UV-visible spectroscopy, laser ellipsometry, and atomic f...
