Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of laser film system structure, and particularly relates to a high-reflection film used for a laser element after laser film coating, and a design and preparation method of the film system structure resistant to laser damage threshold of the thin film in the use of laser equipment. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the increasing requirements of industry (laser marking machine, laser cutting machine), medical laser instrument and military on laser output optical power and spot quality, the damage threshold and surface shape of the high-reflection film of the laser cavity mirror are increasingly required, how to prepare a full dielectric laser reflection film with high laser damage threshold and high laser beam quality becomes a research focus of domestic and foreign scholars, and is also a pursuit goal of optical coating enterprises. Most enterprises and research institutions adopt the method of electron gun thermal evaporation, the film layer prepared by this method is relatively loose, and surface defects are serious, and a small number of enterprises select ion beam sputtering (IBS) coating, but stress is large, surface shape changes greatly, and output spot quality cannot meet the use requirements.
