Abstract

In this paper we investigated sol-gel derived Ta2O5 and nanosized MEL zeolite films obtained by spin coating of Tantalum sol and colloidal zeolite solution, respectively. Refractive index and thickness of the films were determined using non-linear curve fitting of measured reflectance spectra. The influence of the post deposition annealing on the optical properties and thickness of the films was studied. Besides tunable Bragg stacks were designed and prepared by layer-by-layer deposition of Ta2O5 and MEL suspensions with quarter-wave thicknesses. The influence of water, acetone and methanol on the optical behavior of Bragg stacks was discussed.
