Mechanical properties of optical thin films

Mechanical properties of optical thin films and coatings are very important for their reliability, because they are often exposed to rough conditions in service. Mechanical attributes of films, that determine their behavior, are in the center of interest. In this paper, mechanical properties of optical thin films deposited on various types of glass substrates were examined. Assessment of such properties was performed using instrumented nanoindentation (hardness, elastic modulus, elastic and plastic work done by indentation) and scratch test (critical loads corresponding to the onset of specific failure). The failure modes of thin films were discussed.

Nová měřící metoda tvaru konkávních zrcadel na principu digitálního zpracování Hartmanova testu

The theory, optical, mechanical, and software design for a special Hartmann wavefront analyzer is presented. This method is applied for the non-contact method of concave mirrors shape measurements. The so-called Hartmann test is used with the digital image reading and the fast computer data evaluation. In this method a transparent spatial modulator is used instead of binary mask. Our institute Joint Laboratory of Optics produces segmented mirrors for the Pierre Auger observatory fluorescent detector [1]. We use this method as the qualitative measuring of this spherical mirror segments. These segments are unique because they are light and ultrathin. The production of mirrors is based on standard operations commonly used in the optical industry (cutting, drilling, milling, grinding and polishing), with the difference that they are extremely thin. This fact can cause segment shape instability in the production process.
