Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thin Films for Optical Coating emphasizes the applications of thin films, deposition of thin films, and thin film characterization. Unlike monographs on this subject, this book presents the views of many expert authors. Individual chapters span a wide arc of topics within this field of study. The book offers an introduction to usual and unusual applications of optical thin films, treating in a more qualitative way general topics such as anticounterfeiting coatings, decorative coatings, light switches, contrast enhancement coatings, multiplexers, optical memories, and more. Contributors review thin film media for optical data storage, UV broadband and narrow-band filters, and optically active thin film coatings. Ion beam sputtering and magnetron sputtering deposition methods are described in detail. Characterization techniques are provided, including Raman spectroscopy and absorption measurements. The book also offers theories on light scattering of thin dielectric films and the electromagnetic properties of nanocermet thin films. This reference incorporates recent research by the individual authors with their views of current developments in their respective fields. Of particular interest to the reader will be an assessment of the historical developments of thin film physics written by one of the fathers of thin film technology, Professor M. Auwärter.

This book was released on 2020-03-09 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The updated third edition of the only textbook on colour The revised third edition of Colour and the Optical Properties of Materials focuses on the ways that colour is produced, both in the natural world and in a wide range of applications. The expert author offers an introduction to the science underlying colour and optics and explores many of the most recent applications. The text is divided into three main sections: behaviour of light in homogeneous media, which can largely be explained by classical wave optics; the way in which light interacts with atoms or molecules, which must be explained mainly in terms of photons; and the interaction of light with insulators, semiconductors and metals, in which the band structure notions are of primary concern. The updated third edition retains the proven concepts outlined in the previous editions and contains information on the significant developments in the field with many figures redrawn and new material added. The text contains new or extended sections on photonic crystals, holograms, flat lenses, super-resolution optical microscopy and modern display technologies. This important book: Offers and introduction to the science that underlies the everyday concept of colour Reviews the cross disciplinary subjects of physics, chemistry, biology and materials science, to link light, colour and perception Includes information on many modern applications, such as the numerous different colour displays now available, optical amplifiers lasers, super-resolution optical microscopy and lighting including LEDs and OLEDs Contains new sections on photonic crystals, holograms, flat lenses, super-resolution optical microscopy and display technologies Presents many worked examples, with problems and exercises at the end of each chapter Written for students in materials science, physics, chemistry and the biological sciences, the third edition of Colour and The Optical Properties of Materials covers the basic science of the topic and has been thoroughly updated to include recent advances in the field.

This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The object of the present research is to design and fabricate metal-dielectric thin film multilayer structures that make use of the nonlinear optical (NLO) response of Ag for efficient nonlinear absorption for sensor protection. These structures employ structural resonances to overcome the challenges of reflection and absorption that limit access to this large NLO response. The research consists of three parts: first, we present a comprehensive analysis of the contributions to the nonlinear optical response of Ag. Second, we present a systematic investigation of the linear optical properties of Metal-Dielectric Photonic Band-Gap (MDPBG) structures, including optimization of the structure for a particular transmittance spectrum. Third, we study the linear and nonlinear optical properties of Induced Transmission Filters (ITFs). Each of these parts includes experimental results backed by modeling and simulation.

This book was released on 2022-09-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Optical Thin film coating technology is one of the oldest and continuous growing technology. Innovations in thin film coating technology are allowing scientists and researchers to design new types of optical filters for various applications. These thin films find wide spread use in various fields such as electronics, sensors, biomedical, laser instrumentation, new screen display technologies, smarter windows, protective coatings for glass and polymer substrates, head up displays, helmet mounted displays, see through displays, projection displays and efficient photovoltaic devices. In addition, these films find applications in optical industries for manufacturing of filters such as band pass, band stop, edge filters, notch filters, high reflection filter, anti-reflection filters, beam splitter, neutral density filters, etc. Such films work on the principle of interference of light to achieve desired optical characteristics such as reflection and transmission. Apart from the optical properties of the film such as reflection and transmission, there are various other parameters which plays major role in achieving desired quality of films. These parameters include film thickness, surface quality, average roughness and the tilt in deposited film. Depending on the wavelength and region of interest in the electromagnetic spectrum, the materials could be selected based on their optical transparency, density and refractive index. The commonly used materials for the deposition of thin films include dielectric metal oxides, metals, fluorides and composites. In the present research work, dielectric oxides such as silicon dioxide, Aluminium dioxide, titanium dioxide, tantalum dioxide, zirconium dioxide etc. were used for the visible region of wavelength. Although, these materials are commonly used for the deposition and fabrication of optical thin films but still the requirement of desired optical performance has made the role of manufacturer quite challenging. So, there is a need to achieve high accuracy and wavelength selectivity with minimum optical thickness, reduced side harmonics outside the stop band, lower bandwidth and low total cost of the coating process. The present study is based on minimization of side-lobes using various methods such as conventional quarter wave Ostack, AR coating on both sides of the conventional stack, classical rugate, matching layers along with quintic and Gaussian apodization functions applied on both sides of the rugate structure. Conventional and graded index techniques were used for designing of various optical interference filters such as antireflection, high reflective band stop filters (single, double, triple), band pass cavity and notch filters for the application of see through displays in the visible region. The optical thickness of all the designs was less than 10 μm with 1.3 to 2.5 variation in refractive index. The performance of all the designs in terms of peak reflectance or transmittance and side-lobe suppression were studied and compared. Few of the designed filters were fabricated using the electron beam deposition and dual ebeam Ion assisted deposition on BK7 glass substrates for normal incidence angles. For the realization of multilayer filter, determination of the optical performance of the single layer and tooling factor is important for excellent repeatability and reproducibility. Hence, single layer films of silicon dioxide and aluminium dioxide were deposited at normal. In addition to understand the change in refractive index of the coated film at different angles the single layers were also deposited at oblique angle of incidence ranging from 10 to 80°. Further, with obtained indices from the single layer, the conventional multilayer stack and inhomogeneous stack reflective filters were deposited at normal incidence angle at a central wavelength of 550 and 610 nm for application of see through displays and projection systems.
