Laser damage resistance of ion-beam sputtered Sc2O3/SiO2 mixture optical coatings.

چکیده
We report on the correlation between the laser damage resistance, the optical and the physical properties of Sc(2)O(3)/SiO(2) mixture coatings. Several sets of samples with ten different mixture ratios have been prepared by ion-beam sputtering. The atomic compositions of the mixture thin films are quantified employing x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy depth profiles. Laser-induced damage thresholds are determined with single subpicosecond pulses (500 fs) at 1030 nm. Furthermore, Son1 multishot measurements are realized in the ultraviolet wavelength range (355 nm) at pulse durations of 5 ns. In addition, the influence of two different substrate polishing qualities on the radiation resistance of the composite thin films is discussed.

Femtosecond laser damage resistance of oxide and mixture oxide optical coatings.
We report on the laser damage resistance of ion beam-sputtered oxide materials (Al2O3, Nb2O5, HfO2, SiO2, Ta2O5, ZrO2) and mixtures of Al2O3-SiO2, Nb2O5-SiO2, HfO2-SiO2, Ta2O5-SiO2, and ZrO2-SiO2, irradiated by single 500 fs pulses at 1030 nm. Laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT), refractive index, and bandgaps of the single-layer coatings are measured. For pure oxide materials a linear evolut...

The laser damage resistance of optical coatings is a critical point for a large number of applications. However improving this resistance is often hard to obtain because of the large number of parameters in the deposition processes than can modify the laser damage threshold and the lack of detailed and exploitable studies published on this subject. Then, the aim of this work is to test and anal...
متن کاملLaser Damage Testing for Ion Beam Sputtered Coatings at 2 μm and 3 μm
The number and variety of laser materials in the 2-3 μm spectral region is growing as fast as the applications. Example materials are the ‘traditional’ mid-infrared solid state crystals: Ho:YAG, Tm:YAG, Ho:Tm:YAG, Er:YAG. There are also new or less standard Erbium-doped materials such as Er:YSGG, Er:Y2O3 5, Er:ZBLAN fiber6. Several Chromium-doped chalcogenides7 cover virtually the entire 2-3 μm...

A comparative study is made of the laser damage resistance of hafnia coatings deposited on fused silica substrates with different technologies: electron beam deposition (from Hf or HfO(2) starting material), reactive low voltage ion plating, and dual ion beam sputtering. The laser damage thresholds of these coatings are determined at 1064 and 355 nm using a nanosecond pulsed YAG laser and a one...
