Ion-plating metal-dielectric coatings for light absorbers
Abstract
Ion Plating deposition technology is investigated for the manufacturing of durable metal-dielectric light absorbers that are compliant with space requirements. Coatings are manufactured using hafnium (Hf) and silica (SiO2) for layer materials so that the deposition chamber can still be used without any modification for the manufacturing of standard dielectric coatings. Both monochromatic and broad band light absorbers are studied.
