The objectives for this effort will include theoretical studies related to the development of multilayer coatings for windows of various refractive indices. also, coated samples demonstrating antireflective properties as well as stability to environmental conditions will be provided. this effort… More

Studies will be directed toward the feasibility of providing a multiline laser rejection plastic filter. a hybrid system composed of a laser absorbing material (dye) embeded in plastic and a multilayer reflection rejection coating deposited on the plastic surface can provide the rejection mechanism… More

Studies will be directed toward developing/improving current absorbers used in polycarbonate materials as well as providing additional coverage in other spectral regions. in addition to the polycarbonate studies, plasma sputtering deposition techniques will be evaluated to determine their potential… More

Thin films, today widely used in numerous applications including optics, electronics, and surface protection, are commonly deposited by a variety of physical vapor deposition (pvd) methods. standard pvd techniques produce films with inherent weakness of their optical and mechanical properties… More
