LBO晶体上具有不同厚度过渡层的倍频增透膜的设计和制备

Design and preparation of frequency doubling antireflection coating with different thicknesses of interlayer were investigated for LiB₃O₅ (LBO) substrate. The design was based on the vector method. The thickness of the inserted SiO₂ interlayer could be changed in a wide range for the four-layer design with two zeros at 1064 and 532 nm. The coatings without any interlayer and with 0.1 quarter-wave (λ/4), 0.3 λ/4, 0.5 λ/4 SiO₂ interlayer were deposited respectively on LBO by using electron beam evaporation technique. All the prepared coatings with SiO₂ interlayer indicated satisfying optical behavior. This expanded our option for the thickness of an interlayer when coating on LBO substrate. The prepared films with SiO₂ interlayer showed better adhesion than that without any interlayer. The thickness of the interlayer affected the adhesion, the adhesion for the coating with 0.5 λ/4 SiO₂ interlayer was not as good as the other two.}

Y_2O_3稳定ZrO_2薄膜的结构和光学特性

用电子束蒸发法制备出四种不同Y2O3含量的Y2O3稳定ZrO2（YSZ）薄膜,用X射线衍射和透射光谱测定薄膜的结构和光学性能.结果表明：随着Y2O3含量的增加,ZrO2薄膜从单斜相向高温相（四方相和立方相）转变,获得了结构稳定的YSZ薄膜;YSZ薄膜的晶粒尺寸都比ZrO2薄膜的大,但随着Y2O3加入量的增加,晶粒尺寸有减小的趋势,薄膜表面也趋向光滑平整.所有YSZ薄膜的透射谱线都与ZrO2薄膜相似,在可见光和红外光区都有较高的透过率.Y2O3的加入还可以改变薄膜的折射率,在一定范围内可得到所需的任意折射率

两种后处理方法对HfO2薄膜性能的影响

利用电子束蒸发和光电极值监控技术制备了氧化铪薄膜，并分别用两种后处理方法（空气中退火和氧等离子体轰击）对样品进行了处理．然后，对样品的透过率、吸收和抗激光损伤阈值进行了测试分析．实验结果表明，两种后处理方法都能不同程度地降低了氧化铪薄膜的吸收损耗、提高了抗激光损伤阈值．实验结果还表明，氧等离子体轰击的后处理效果明显优于热退火，样品的吸收平均值在氧等离子体后处理前后分别为34．8ppm和9．0ppm，而基频（1 064nm）激光损伤阈值分别为10．0J／cm^2和21．4J／cm^2．

LBO晶体上1064，532nm倍频增透膜的镀制及性能分析

用电子束蒸发沉积方法在X切LBO（X-LBO）晶体上镀制了两种不同膜系结构的1064和532nm倍频增透膜，其中一种膜系结构为基底／ZrO2／Y2O3／A12O3／SiO2／空气，另一种为基底／0．5Al2O3／ZrO2／Y2O3／A12O3／SiO2／空气，两种膜系结构的主要差别在于有无氧化铝过渡层。测量了薄膜的反射率光谱曲线，发现两种增透膜在1064和532nm处的反射率均小于0．5％，实际镀制结果与理论设计曲线的差异主要是由材料折射率的变化引起的。且对样品在空气环境中进行了温度为473K的退火处理，

离子束辅助反应制备的氧化铪薄膜特性

采用电子束直接蒸发氧化铪、无辅助电子束反应蒸发和离子束辅助反应蒸发金属铪3种沉积方式制备了单层HfO2薄膜,对样品的光学性能、结构特性以及激光损伤特性进行了研究。实验结果表明:通过反应沉积的方法可以有效减少缺陷产生并改善均匀性,施加离子辅助可以提高薄膜的折射率,在一定条件下还可以有效地降低吸收,但激光损伤阈值仍未达到直接采用氧化铪制备的水平;晶体结构方面,离子辅助条件下可以获得单斜相氧化铪薄膜,并且随着轰击能量的提高由(002)面的择优取向向(-111)面转变。

薄膜厚度对HfO2薄膜残余应力的影响

HfO2薄膜是用电子束蒸发方法制备的，利用ZYGO干涉仪测量了基片镀膜前后曲率半径的变化，计算了薄膜应力。对样品进行了XRD测试，讨论了膜厚对薄膜残余应力的影响。结果发现不同厚度HfO2薄膜的残余应力均为张应力，应力值随薄膜厚度的增加而减小，当薄膜厚度达到一定值后，应力值趋于稳定。从微观结构变化对实验结果进行了分析，发现微结构演变引起的本征应力变化是引起薄膜残余应力改变的主要因素。

1064nm与532nm激光对电子束蒸发制备的HfO2／SiO2高反膜损伤比较

研究了电子束蒸发制备的HfO2／SiO2高反膜在1064nm与532nm激光辐照下的损伤行为。基频激光辐照时损伤形貌主要为节瘤缺陷喷溅留下的锥形坑。当能量密度较大时出现分层剥落；二倍频激光损伤主要是由电子缺陷引起的平底坑，辐照脉冲能量密度稍高时也会产生吸收性缺陷引起的锥形坑，但电子缺陷的损伤阈值更低；随着辐照脉冲能量密度的增大分层剥落逐渐成为主要的损伤形貌。分析认为，辐照激光波长的变化。引起吸收机制的变化从而导致了损伤阈值及损伤机制的差异。

4H-SiC基底Al_2O_3/SiO_2双层减反射膜的设计和制备

在4H-SiC基底上设计并制备了Al2O3/SiO2紫外双层减反射膜,通过扫描电镜(SEM)和实测反射率谱来验证理论设计的正确性。利用编程计算得到Al2O3和SiO2的最优物理膜厚分别为42.0nm和96.1nm以及参考波长λ=280nm处最小反射率为0.09%。由误差分析可知,实际镀膜时保持双层膜厚度之和与理论值一致有利于降低膜系反射率。实验中应当准确控制SiO2折射率并使Al2O3折射率接近1.715。用电子束蒸发法在4H-SiC基底上淀积Al2O3/SiO2双层膜,厚度分别为42nm和96nm。SEM截面图表明淀积的薄膜和基底间具有较强的附着力。实测反射率极小值为0.33%,对应λ=276nm,与理论结果吻合较好。与传统SiO2单层膜相比,Al2O3/SiO2双层膜具有反射率小,波长选择性好等优点,从而论证了其在4H-SiC基紫外光电器件减反射膜上具有较好的应用前景。

基于平板夹具的电子束蒸发沉积薄膜中的挖坑效应分析

电阻加热具有比较好的加热均匀性,可以认为对于非升华性材料,具有比较理想的平面源发射特性n=1。而电子束加热时,通常n=2~3,甚至可以为6,发射特性参数的范围大,没有取值指导理论或规律,具有很大的不确定性,这对分析薄膜均匀性非常不利。采用细分蒸发源为无数个小的面蒸发源的思想,建立了镀膜材料出现挖坑效应时薄膜厚度均匀性的分析模型。分析结果表明电子束蒸发方法很难获得理想的平面蒸发源,不同程度的挖坑效应将使得n值不同程度地偏离n=1,挖坑效应越明显,n值越大。可以从镀膜机结构设计及薄膜沉积工艺选取两方面着手,降低挖坑效应带来的影响。该研究对认识蒸发源材料发射特性的物理含义具有重要意义,对实验工作同样具有指导性意义。

Investigation of damage threshold to TiO2 coatings at different laser wavelength and pulse duration

Laser-induced damages to TiO2 single layers and TiO2/SiO2 high reflectors at laser wavelength of 1064 nm, 800 run, 532 urn, and pulse width of 12 ns, 220 ps, 50 fs, 8 ns are investigated. All films are prepared by electron beam evaporation. The relations among microstructure, chemical composition, optical properties and laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT), have been researched. The dependence of damage mechanism on laser wavelength and pulse width is discussed. It is found that from 1064 nm to 532 nm, LIDT is mainly absorption related, which is determined by film's extinction coefficient and stoichiometric defects. The rapid decrease of LIDT at 800 nm is due to the pulse width factor. TiO2 coatings are mainly thermally by damaged at long pulse (tau >= 220 ps). The damage shows ablation feature at 50 fs.

Annealing effects on the optical and structural properties of Al2O3/SiO2 films as UV antireflection coatings on 4H-SiC substrates

Al2O3/SiO2 films have been prepared by electron-beam evaporation as ultraviolet (UV) antireflection coatings on 4H-SiC substrates and annealed at different temperatures. The films were characterized by reflection spectra, ellipsometer system, atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Xray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), respectively. As the annealing temperature increased, the minimum reflectance of the films moved to the shorter wavelength for the variation of refractive indices and the reduction of film thicknesses. The surface grains appeared to get larger in size and the root mean square (RMS) roughness of the annealed films increased with the annealing temperature but was less than that of the as-deposited. The Al2O3/SiO2 films maintained amorphous in microstructure with the increase of the temperature. Meanwhile, the transition and diffusion in film component were found in XPS measurement. These results provided the important references for Al2O3/SiO2 films annealed at reasonable temperatures and prepared as fine anti-reflection coatings on 4H-SiC-based UV optoelectronic devices.

退火对HfO2/SiO2多层膜残余应力的影响

用电子束蒸发方法在BK7基底上沉积了HfO2/SiO2多层膜。研究了200℃到400℃的退火对残余应力的影响。结果表明退火前的薄膜残余应力为压应力，在200℃退火后发展为张应力，然后张应力值随着退火温度的升高而增大。在400℃退火后，由于张应力太大，薄膜表面出现了裂纹。同时，随着退火温度的升高，晶粒尺寸长大，晶面间距降低。残余应力的变化与结构的演变相对应。

Investigation on properties of TiO2 thin films deposited at different oxygen pressures

TiO2 thin films were prepared by electron beam evaporation at different oxygen partial pressures. The influences of oxygen partial pressure on optical, mechanical and structural properties of TiO2 thin films were studied. The results showed that with the increase of oxygen partial pressure, the optical transmittance gradually increased, the transmittance edge gradually shifted to short wavelength, and the corresponding refractive index decreased. The residual stresses of all samples were tensile, and the value increased as oxygen partial pressure increasing, which corresponded to the evolutions of the packing densities. The structures of TiO2 thin films all were amorphous because deposition particles did not possess enough energy to crystallize. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

三种不同后处理方式对ZrO_2薄膜性能的影响

采用有氧热处理、激光预处理和离子后处理三种方式对电子束蒸发(EBE)制备的单层ZrO_2薄膜进行了后处理,并分别对样品的光学性能和抗激光损伤阈值(LIDT)特性进行了研究。实验结果表明,热处理方式可以有效排除膜层内吸附的水气,弥补薄膜制备过程中的氧损失,使得光谱短移、吸收减小、损伤阈值增高;激光预处理过程可以在一定程度上减少缺陷、提高损伤阈值,但对膜层的光谱和吸收情况没有明显的改善作用;而离子后处理能够提高膜层的堆积密度、减少缺陷、降低吸收从而提高损伤阈值。由于三种方式处理机制不同,在实际应用中应根据膜层的性能选择合适的处理方式。
