Optical Coatings

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Surface Sciences ((SSSUR,volume 54))

Abstract

The impact of the optical constants real properties on general problems of coating design is discussed. Emphasis is given on material choice for both normal and oblique incidence spectral targets, and on general feasibility considerations by means of computational manufacturing runs for different available deposition process monitoring approaches. As a major example, the impact of optical constants and their reproducibility on the performance of a broadband antireflection coating is discussed.
