Thin-film interference

The phenomenon of thin-film interference leads to an optimum condition for the film thickness in order to achieve the greatest change in the reflectivity of the medium. Subsequently, control of film thickness and uniformity across the disk are important factors in the practical implementation of this technology.196... [Pg.608]

Uses. Used in various superconductor applications and for cutting tools. Nb steels are very heat resistant. Niobium has a good resistance towards corrosive chemicals even at high temperature it is used in the construction of chemical equipment even if it is not as resistant as tantalum. Nb has a low neutron capture cross-section and it is especially resistant towards liquid sodium corrosion it finds applications in the nuclear industry. Nb is very malleable and easy to shape and may be used in special jewellery this is also because it is possible to give it beautiful colours (thin-film interference colours) by heating in air or, better, by controlled anodization. [Pg.405]

In the mid-IR, unlike NIR, it is customary to use microns or micrometers (um) for the wavelength scale, not nanometers (nm). Also, for filter-based instruments the wavelength scale is traditionally used instead of the wavenumber (cm ) frequency based scale this tends to be historical based on thin film interference filter technology. [Pg.159]

Anti-reflection coating An optical thin film interference coating designed to minimize reflections that occur when light travels from one medium into another. [Pg.155]

Thin film interference arises when multiple reflections, from index of refi action variations, overlap in space and time and waves superpose. The connection with studies of shocked materials is that a shock wave moving through a transparent material represents an interface between an ambient density and a higher-density, and thus different refractive index, material. Ideally, there are two films produced, the shocked and the unshocked, with different refractive indices and the thickness of each change with time during passage of the shock. [Pg.380]

THIN FILM INTERFERENCE EFFECTS ON INFRARED REFLECTION SPECTRA... [Pg.384]

Analysis of the infrared spectra requires accounting for thin film interference effects, which, upon shock compression, change the composite reflectivity. To analyze the thin film interference effects, the infrared complex refractive index spectra for ambient samples of PVN, and the inert polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), were determined as described in the section above. The only modification to the description above is the inclusion here of the dispersive rarefaction wave that releases the pressure [102]. [Pg.389]

Figure 15. Time resolved infrared absorption spectra of Vs(N02) in 940 nm thick PVN films during shock loading, in reflectance units. Calculated plots include only thin film interference effects, excluding pressure and temperature shifts and chemical reaction, making the differences between the experimental and calculated spectra the primary subjects of interest. Shock pressures were determined by interferometry. Arrows show the time at which the shock has fully traversed the film and rarefaction begins. Figure 15.

Light separation by filters can be performed with coloured glass or dyed gelatine filters. The quality of separation and the thermal stability of the filters, however, have been improved considerably by the use of thin film interference systems, see [Id, 2, 6, 115]. [Pg.467]

Various methods have been developed for Raman characterization of very thin films and amorphous phase films that exploit the optical properties of the film to enhance the intensity of the Raman scattered radiation. Such techniques involve the lateral transmission of light in thin films, interference phenomena upon reflection at interfaces, or direct absorption of the probe radiation by the thin film. Raman scattering experiments based on these phenomena exhibit an increase in sensitivity from one to several orders of magnitude and allow molecular characterization of very thin films. [Pg.183]

By gently rubbing or pressing a freshly cleaved crystal on an oxidized wafer graphene flakes with the correct thickness of oxide, single atomic layers are visible under an optical microscopy due to thin film interference effects. [Pg.225]

Furthermore, thin-film interference filters often suffer from a polarization sensitivity, which can produce unwanted selectivity in applications where polarization sensitivity is desired (see Section 3.4). Fortunately, a number of suppliers (Chroma Technology Corp., VT, USA for example) are now becoming familiar with the requirements of filters for single molecule applications and are constantly developing the technology. Compared to other types of filters the interference type cannot be beaten on cost good quality filters suitable for single molecule work are available for around US 150. [Pg.121]

Fine structures in the PL have sometimes been observed. At room temperature, these structures (peaks modulating the otherwise generally Gaussian-shaped PL spectrum) were mostly attributed to thin film interference (Kim et al. 2003 Hooft et al. 1992). For the visible range, such interference effect can mostly be observed for layer thicknesses ranging from about 0.5 to 3 pm. At low temperature (<200 K), and for elean, hydrogen-terminated porous silieon, fine struetures have been assoeiated with optieal phonon-assisted interband transitions (Caleott et al. 1993 Elhouiehet and Oueslati 2002), even for nonresonant excitation (Xu and Adachi 2010). [Pg.415]
