Abstract
In this work, we present our results about the thermal crystallization of ion beam sputtered hafnia on 0001 SiO2 substrates and its effect on the laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT). The crystallization process was studied using in-situ X-ray diffractometry. We determined an activation energy for crystallization of 2.6?±?0.5?eV. It was found that the growth of the crystallites follows a two-dimensional growth mode. This, in combination with the high activation energy, leads to an apparent layer thickness-dependent crystallization temperature. LIDT measurements @355?nm on thermally treated 3 quarter-wave thick hafnia layers show a decrement of the 0% LIDT for 1?h @773?K treatment. Thermal treatment for 5?h leads to a significant increment of the LIDT values.
期刊介绍：
Rapid progress in optics and photonics has broadened its application enormously into many branches, including information and communication technology, security, sensing, bio- and medical sciences, healthcare and chemistry.
Recent achievements in other sciences have allowed continual discovery of new natural mysteries and formulation of challenging goals for optics that require further development of modern concepts and running fundamental research.
The Journal of the European Optical Society – Rapid Publications (JEOS:RP) aims to tackle all of the aforementioned points in the form of prompt, scientific, high-quality communications that report on the latest findings. It presents emerging technologies and outlining strategic goals in optics and photonics.
The journal covers both fundamental and applied topics, including but not limited to:
Classical and quantum optics
Light/matter interaction
Optical communication
Micro- and nanooptics
Nonlinear optical phenomena
Optical materials
Optical metrology
Optical spectroscopy
Colour research
Nano and metamaterials
Modern photonics technology
Optical engineering, design and instrumentation
Optical applications in bio-physics and medicine
Interdisciplinary fields using photonics, such as in energy, climate change and cultural heritage
The journal aims to provide readers with recent and important achievements in optics/photonics and, as its name suggests, it strives for the shortest possible publication time.
