Problems solved by technology

The film materials deposited on these components are very loose, and will absorb a large amount of moisture and dust particles in the atmospheric state, and will be released again under high vacuum; these components are very close to the substrate in the deposition area, so that these moisture or particles can easily Contaminated film, forming defects such as nodules, lowering the threshold of the film

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of thin film optics, and in particular relates to an evaporation method for improving a laser induced damage threshold of an oxide film, mainly aiming at the key factors, which comprise the absorption and defects in films, and causes the damage in laser-induced film. The ineffective evaporation materials are blocked and adsorbed by adding an isolation baffle between the evaporation source and the substrate, thereby reducing the pollution to the vicinity of the substrate and decreasing the probability for defects formation in the film; oxygen radicals, which have stronger oxidization capability than conventional molecular oxygen and ions oxygen, are introduced into the vacuum chamber to allow oxygen radicals to be incident on the surface of the substrate so that the deposition material is possibly sufficiently oxidized under high vacuum conditions, and the absorption of the film is reduced, thereby obtaining the oxide film having higher threshold. The method not only retains the unique beneficial properties of the electron beam thermal evaporation method for plating a laser film and but also improves the intrinsic absorption and the defect density of the film; and the preparation method has the characteristics of strong pertinence, high quality and simplicity and feasibility.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of optical thin films, and in particular relates to an evaporation method for improving the laser damage resistance threshold of an oxide film. Background technique [0002] A variety of optical glass parts are the basis of the high-power laser system, and their damage threshold and damage characteristics are important bottlenecks that limit the further development of high-power laser technology, and are one of the important factors that affect the stability and service life of the laser system. The laser damage resistance of optical glass parts is closely related to the film on it. The research on the damage mechanism of nanosecond pulses in thin films shows that the absorption and defects of thin films are the main factors causing damage. [0003] The absorption of the thin film is mainly caused by insufficient oxidation of the film material during substrate deposition. The process factors that affect ab...
