摘要
Very strict requirements need to be met for producing a high-quality single-layer antireflection coating on- a traveling-wave laser amplifier facet. In order to obtain a facet reflectivity of 10(-4) or less, the index of refraction and the layer thickness of single-layer coatings have to be controlled to better than 0.03 and 30 angstrom, respectively. We demonstrate an innovative approach to highly controlled antireflection layer deposition based on in situ real-time ellipsometry. Index control within +/-0.01 and a facet reflectivity of order 10(-4) are reproducibly obtained.
