“…After the cleaning process, the substrate was rinsed with ultrapure water and dried by an air knife consisting of a nitrogen flow. As vacuum deposition materials [16,17], granulated silver (Ag) and gold (Au) (5N, The Nilaco Co.) were prepared for the M1 and M2 layers [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25], and granulated calcium fluoride (CaF2) [26][27][28][29][30], and magnesium fluoride (MgF2) [31][32][33][34] (Sanwa Kenma Ltd.) were used for the I layer. These materials were vacuum-evaporated by resistive heating using a tungsten (W) basket heater (Okenshoji Co., Ltd.) or a boat heater (W or Ta, The Nilaco Co.), and all three layers (M1, I, and M2) were deposited under high vacuum conditions without exposure to air.…”
