To improve sensing capability of infrared, heat-resistance and mechanical properties, the SiO 2 and TiO 2 antireflective layers were coated on sapphire substrate by MOCVD. The standard wavelength was 4,600nm, and the thickness of anti-reflective layers were 379 and 758nm in case of λ/4 and λ/2 of incident angle(65˚), respectively.The SiO 2 and TiO 2 anti-reflective layers were coated 12.6 and 9.7nm/min of deposition rates by increasing oxygen pressure to set the ideal refractive index of 1.283. In case of SiO 2 (λ/2) coating, the transmittance increased from 55.0 to 62.7%. The transmittance of TiO 2 (λ/2) anti-reflective layer also increased from 55.0 to 64.8%. The flexural strength of SiO 2 (λ/2) and TiO 2 (λ/2) layer coated sapphire increased from 337.8 to 362.9 and 371.8MPa, respectively. The flexural strength at 500℃ of these materials also increased respectively to 304.5, 358.2MPa from 265.9MPa. From these results, we confirmed these materials can be used as transmission window of infrared light.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
