Preparation of Uniform SiO2 Films on Sapphire Dome by r.f. Magnetron Reactive Sputtering
Abstract:
The convex surface of the infrared dome is exposed to the harsh environment of the outside world, and therefore requires a coating which not only increases transmission but is able to withstand rain erosion so as to enhance system performance. This paper deals with the techniques that were developed to deposit a uniform thick SiO2 coating for sapphire dome by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. Results show that average transmission increment in wavelength range from 3 to 5um for the sapphire dome coated on convex surface was more than 4.0%. The transmission non-uniformity over the convex surface of the coated sapphire dome was less than 1.7%.
