Practical Design and Production of Optical Thin Films

Presents guidelines and tools to produce coatings and films. Covering subjects that range from materials selection and process development to successful system construction and optimization, this book discusses design visualization, dense wavelength division multiplexing, coating equipment, and electrochromic and chemically active coatings.
Providing insider viewpoints and perspectives unavailable in any other text, this book presents useful guidelines and tools to produce effective coatings and films. Covering subjects ranging from materials selection and process development to successful system construction and optimization, it contains expanded discussions on design visualization, dense wavelength division multiplexing, new coating equipment, electrochromic and chemically active coatings, ion-assisted deposition, and optical monitoring sensitivity. Furnishing real-world examples and know-how, the book introduces Fourier analysis and synthesis without difficult mathematical concepts and equations.
