Controlling stress of sputtered hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H) for infrared durable optical coating of chalcogenide glass
Infrared optical coatings using hydrogenated amorphous carbon were deposited on chalcogenide glass. Control of the coating stress using variable hydrogen flow resulted in a durable coating with good adhesion which passes TS1888 wiper test.
