Technical Field

[0002] Optical coating is a technology that deposits one or more layers of thin films with specific optical properties on the surface of optical components to control the reflection, transmission, absorption and scattering of light. Its main purpose is to reduce or increase the reflection, beam splitting, color separation, filtering, polarization and other requirements of light. The three main types of optical coating are dielectric coating, metal coating and mixed coating. Each type has its unique characteristics and application fields. Plasma technology has a wide range of applications in the field of optical coating. It can be used to improve the properties of thin films, such as increasing hardness, reducing reflectivity, and improving wear resistance. Plasma sputtering coating is a process method that uses plasma technology to deposit thin films on solid surfaces. High-energy plasma bombards the surface of the target material so that the target atoms or molecules are ejected from the surface and deposited on the surface of the substrate to form a thin film.
