Coatings on metal substrates
Overview
Many diamond-turned metals have very high infrared reflectivity and corresponding low absorption. But, with the restriction of the optical constants of the metal material, the reflectivity couldn’t be large enough. So the reflectivity of the metal surface must be improved by depositing multi-layer dielectric films. Dielectric coatings can reduce absorption, increase the laser damage threshold, and improve surface durability. Metal reflectors with high reflectivity resulting from high quality dielectric coatings and good thermal conductivity could improve the resistance to laser irradiation in high-power laser systems.
