2-nm narrow band pass f ilter in standard conf iguration evaporate coating machine

Abstract

High sophisticated optical monitoring systems like the OMS 5000 from Leyboldoptics are commonly used in vacuum coating system to improve the capabilities and reliability of production processes concerning optical performance and repeatability optics. This letter describes a method to perform high end optical filters with additional backside blocking over a wide spectral range. The direct monitoring with intermittent measurement on a large area rotating substrate holder is used to facilitate a narrow band pass filter of 2-nm half bandwidth at 532 nm and high transmittance together with a complex blocking filter to retard disturbing radiation from the ultraviolet (UV) range to the near infrared range. The machine is an ARES 1 350 coating system with basically standard conf iguration. 2013 Chinese Optics Letters.
