Ultraviolet Interference Coatings for Laser Fusion Drivers (JTu4A.19)
Presenter: Maxwell Weiss, Colorado State University
Using a combination of HfO2, SiO2, and Al2O3 interference coatings for 355nm were fabricated by ion beam co-sputtering. The use of mixtures is effective for extending the UV cutoff to ~190 nm. The use of mixtures in the design of anti-reflective coatings improves their laser damage resistance.
