Substrate Cleaning Processes and Their Influence on the Laser Resistance of Anti-Reflective Coatings

Substrate Cleaning Processes and Their Influence on the Laser Resistance of Anti-Reflective Coatings

Substrate cleaning prior to coating has a strong influence on the performance of the optical component. Exemplary, none or inadequate cleaning reduces the resistance against laser irradiation drastically. Especially in laser components coated with anti-reflective layers, the interface between substr...
