With the increasing power of computers, new methods in synthesis of optical multilayer systems have appeared. Among these, the simulated-annealing algorithm has proved its efficiency in several fields of physics. We propose to show its performances in the field of optical multilayer systems through different filter designs.
Knowledge and control of a technological process require efficient tools to have a good insight during and after deposit. In situ controls have many advantages because they provide a real time insight on the changes which occur in the deposit with a certain accuracy. However, the in situ measurement does not enable real time feedback on the technological parameters. We therefore developed techniques to characterize samples after deposition. We will show in this paper that the complementarity between optical and X-ray techniques can lead to very fine results. Our deposition chamber is provided with an original system which enables a sampling of some monolayers from the stack. The Investigation of these monolayers help to make a reverse engineering on stacks of several layers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
