Optical Properties of Evaporated Lead Monoxide Films

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The optical properties of evaporated lead monoxide were investigated in relation to their use as high-refractive-index films for multilayer optical filters. Refractive index of the films was measured throughout the visible wavelengths by a spectrophotometric method. nD=2.55 and ν (reciprocal dispersion)=8.8. The optical absorption coefficient, appreciable in the visible range when oxide is evaporated in high vacuum, could be kept below k=0.004 by evaporating in low-pressure oxygen. Strong absorption appeared in the violet and ultraviolet. Cementing properties and atmospheric effects on the films were also investigated.
