Optical Interference Coatings

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Optical Sciences ((SSOS,volume 88))

Abstract

A large number of different deposition techniques are used for the production of thin films for optical applications, as outlined in chapter ‘Thin Film Deposition Techniques’ by H. K. Pulker. The two most important categories are physical vapour deposition (PVD), namely thermal vaporisation and sputtering, and chemical vapour deposition (CVD). It is obvious, that for each deposition technique suitable coating materials are required.
