Stable thin films for optical and monocrystalline materials

Abstract

The project goal is the improvement of thin film technology with higher spectral stability, environmental stability and high laser inducted damage threshold. Films will be deposited on silica and monocrystalline substrates produced by CRYTUR, spol. s r.o. for the use in high frequency and energy pulse lasers, scintillator detectors and particle detection applications. Crystal growth technology will be improved with higher accent being put on final polishing. Improving of these technologies is important to satisfy the increasing demand for more resistant optical components, seeking and offering new applications and improving our position on the global market.
