Abstract

We produce overcoated microspheres and try to obtain artificial optical powders with specific spectral properties. Electron-beam deposition is used with a particular vibration system. Calibration and characterization results are presented that validate the techniques and procedures for single-layers and quarter-wave mirrors.
