Abstract

In ionized cluster beam (ICB) deposition, crystal properties can be controlled by changing the acceleration voltage and the ionization current. Therefore, the physical and chemical characteristics of the deposited films can be controlled. This controllability in ICB deposition allows one to deposit new optical films. These films are expected to have many new applications over optical range from x-ray to visible. This paper describes film examples for an X-ray mirror with low stray scattering, for an excimer laser mirror with very high damage threshold power and for dielectric optical coatings. These results show that the ICB technique offers much potential for developing new optical thin films in a wide range of applications.
