Abstract

Thin dielectric films for optical applications are deposited on substrates using a variety of techniques including reactive sputtering, solgel reaction, and ion assisted plasma deposition. This transmission electron microscopy study characterizes optical coatings produced by the above deposition techniques and shows how changes in deposition conditions change microstructure and as a result the optical properties.
