This paper describes a novel remote plasma sputtering technique for depositing optical thin films. This technology is based on generating intensive plasma remotely from the target and then magnetically steering the plasma to the target to realize the sputter deposition. It overcomes several of inherent limitations in conventional sputtering techniques and realizes the fully uniform erosion over the surface of the target and less target poison. This allows a uniform reaction in the plasma phase when performing reactive sputtering, leading to the formation and deposition of material with a uniform stoichiometry and gives pseudo-independence of target current and voltage. This pseudo-independence offers a great deal of flexibility with regard to the control of growth conditions and film properties, the benefits include control of stress, very low deposition rates for ultra thin films. By remote reactive sputtering, dense metal-oxide optical thin films (SiO2, Ta2O5, Nb2O5) with a high deposition rate, excellent optical properties are achieved. High process stability shows an excellent time terminating accuracy for multilayer coating thickness control. Typically, thin film thickness control to <±1% is accomplished simply using time. The multilayer coating, including anti-reflection, dichroic mirror and 2μm laser mirrors are presented.

Among scintillators, columnar CsI screens are used in applications detecting charged particles, UV light or X-ray for high energy physics and medical radiography. CsI scintillator can be grown in special microcolumnar form that preserves spatial resolution in thick coatings. We report on the columnar CsI films fabricated directly on optical-fiber plate by traditional vacuum deposition method. There morphology and structure were examined by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Properties of films depend on deposit condition are discussed.

The phase transitions and the temperature dependent electronic properties of Bi3.25La0.75Ti3O12 (BLT) film have been studied by transmittance spectra from 80 to 480 K. Anomalies of the optical constants are observed at 160 K and 300 K, which can be ascribed to the phase transitions. The optical properties of SrBi2-xNdxNb2O9 (SBNN) ceramics with the Nd concentrations from 0 to 0.2 have been investigated by Raman scattering spectra and spectroscopic ellipsometry. It can be found that the lattice vibrations slightly depend on the Nd concentrations. Moreover, the optical band gap linearly increases with the Nd concentrations due to charge compensation by the Nd doping.

Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) thin films have been prepared by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering from a CuIn0.8Ga0.2Se2 target. The effects of in-situ annealing in Ar atmosphere on phase structure, composition and surface morphology of the films have been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive analysis of X-rays (EDAX), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Raman spectroscopy. XRD patterns show that both as-deposited and annealed films have a chalcopyrite structure with strong (112) preferred orientation. The annealed films display a higher degree of crystallinity and smoother surface, while there is little difference in grain size for films annealed at temperatures ranging from 300°C to 500°C. Results of EDAX reveal that the films are near to stoichiometry. Raman spectrum of the films annealed at 300°C shows only the CIGS A1 mode peak indicating the formation of single-phase chalcopyrite with enhanced crystalline ordering. The films annealed at higher temperatures exhibit a non-chalcopyrite mode at around 260 cm-1 assigned to Cu2-xSe secondary phase which is detrimental to CIGS solar cells.

Fe2O3-SiO2-CTAB transparent nano-composite films were prepared by means of a two-step acid-catalyzed method and sol-gel process using surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as template and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) as the starting material, iron nitrate Fe(NO3)3·9H2O as iron source material. Optical properties, structural and magnetic characteristics of the films were investigated by UV-visible spectra, FT-IR spectra and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The transparency of the high temperature treated Fe2O3-SiO2-CTAB nano-composite films exceeds the glass substrate. It is also found that the saturation magnetization (Ms) of the films increases with the treating temperature. The magnetization measurements reveal that Fe2O3-SiO2-CTAB nano-composite films display normal ferromagnetic behaviors. It is also shown that the CTAB plays a key role in the optical and magnetic properties of Fe2O3-SiO2-CTAB composite films.

Structures containing metamaterials are considered. We mainly investigate the influence of spacer layer's thickness and metamaterials's damping term to the dips appearing in the attenuated total reflection (ATR) spectrum. It is found that the layer thickness and material's damping term have great impact on the surface resonance modes and the dips which appear in ATR spectrum. The results show that in order to observe the dips by using ATR, for the metamaterials, we should select proper values of damping term and spacer's thickness.

Mercuric Iodide (HgI2) is a promising semiconductor material for nuclear radiation detectors working at room temperature, especially for x-ray and γ-ray detectors. The influences of different growth temperatures on qualities of thin films were studied. The structure and optical properties of thin films were characterized by x-ray diffraction spectroscopy, metallography and UV-VIS spectrophotometer. Our results can be summarized as following: XRD analysis shows crystallinity of HgI2 in thin films depends mainly on the growth temperatures, that is, the XRD reflections become stronger with the decrease of the growth temperature. The optimum growth temperature for preparation of polycrystalline HgI2 thin film utilizing vertical deposition technique of chemistry is about 20°C. The corresponding thin film has a good uniformity with thickness of about 800 nm, perpendicular to the substrate along <001> direction. Based on its optical performance testing, our calculations found that HgI2 thin film grown at 20°C has a wide energy band gap of about 2.26 eV.

The strong absorption of materials in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) above ~50 nm has precluded the development of efficient coatings. The development of novel coatings with improved EUV performance is presented. An extensive research was performed on the search and characterization of new materials with low absorption or high reflectance. Lanthanide series was found to be a source of materials with relatively low absorption in this range, where most materials in nature present a strong absorption. Other materials, such as SiO and B, have been found to have interesting properties for applications on EUV coatings. As a result, novel multilayers based on Yb, Al, and SiO have been developed with narrowband performance in the 50-92 nm range. In some cases, the difficulty of developing narrowband coatings in the EUV can be overcome by designing multilayers that address specific purposes, such as maximizing and/or minimizing the reflectance at two or more wavelengths or bands. In this direction, we are working towards the development of coatings that combine a relatively high reflectance in a desired EUV band with a low reflectance in another band, for applications in which the presence of the latter radiation may mask a weak EUV radiation source.
