Abstract:Sol-Gel derived silica antireflective coatings have been widely used in high power laser system because of their ultra-low refractive index and high laser damage threshold. However, water vapor and volatile organic compounds in the laser system contaminate these coatings and reduce their antireflective efficiency and laser damage resistance. In this work, environmental stable SiO 2 antireflective coating was prepared by vapor phase treatment of ammonia and HTMS. Monodisperse colloidal silica sol was synthesize… Show more
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.
