Double layer SiO2–TiO2 sol–gel thin films on glass for antireflection, antifogging, and UV recoverable self-cleaning

Double layer thin films, mechanically stable and adhering to glass, were produced through the sol–gel process, using tetraethyl orthosilicate and titanium butoxide as precursors. The refractive index of the titania and silica– titania composite layers were typically 2.1 and 1.7, and their physical thicknesses were approximately 65 nm and 81 nm, respectively, as determined by ellipsometry. These optical constants allowed attainment of quarterwave optical thicknesses at the center of the visible spectrum (550 nm) as designed, with an increase of 3.4% in transmittance. The nanometric surface roughness, measured by optical profilometry, was effective to decrease light scattering and water contact angles to below 10◦ . As novelty in dip-coated sol–gel films, superhydrophilicity for self-cleaning, antifogging, and antireflection in the mid-visible spectrum were simultaneously attained with durability of 9 weeks in the dark. Further application of UV light allowed regeneration of contact angles for self-cleaning

STRUCTURE-INDUCED OPTICAL ANISOTROPY IN THIN FILMS.

We consider in this work the contribution of anisotropic microstructure to polarization effects in thin films. The microstructure is pictured by a simple model as composed of identical columns with elliptical cross section elongated in a direction perpendicular to that of the vapor incidence. The asymmetry in columnar structure that results from oblique deposition is identified as the common source for the significant dichroism and birefringence observed in metal and dielectric films, respectively. A four-dimensional theory for multilayer systems is presented that starts from first principles, unifies previous treatments for particular cases of film anisotropy, and properly handles the most general case of elliptically polarized mode propagation. In this framework and from a set of polarimetric measurements, a simple method is devised, with explicit consideration of the anisotropic microstructure, for the determination of the physical thickness and principal refractive indices of a single dielectric film. A sequence of transmittance measurements is performed with a zirconium oxide film deposited at 65° and, substrate role and instrumental errors considered, good agreement is obtained between theory and experiment. Spectrophotometer data for a narrowband filter with 21 layers deposited at 30° is shown to confirm theoretical predictions of peak positions with Angstrom resolution. A hypothetical metal film is discussed that reproduces the essential features observed in the optical behavior of an aluminum film deposited at 85°. Potential applications and suggestions for future work are included

Conversão paramétrica de luz em meios gasosos

A geração paramétrica de luz a uma frequência w4 = w1+ w2 + w3, resultante da interação de três campos distintos com um meio gasoso é investigada em termos de Teoria Semiclássica da Radiação. Quando estes campos aproximam-se da situação de ressonância com as transições atômicas, a magnitude da susceptibilidade não-linear à nova frequência aumenta significativamente. A teoria aqui desenvolvida ê aplicada a uma situação experimental em que o meio de conversão é o vapor de sódio. Os resultados indicam que uma escolha apropriada das frequências incidentes permite que com a utilização de lasers de corante com potências relativamente baixas (~KW/cm²) seja atingida a mesma potência convertida que se obteria em conversão não-ressonante envolvendo lasers de potência (~MW/cm²).The parametric generation of light at a frequency w4 = wl + w2 + w3 which results from the interaction of three different fields with a gaseous medium is investigated in terms of the Semiclassical Theory of Radiation. When these fields are tunned Glose to resonance with the relevant atomic transitions, the magnitude of the nonlinear susceptibility at the new frequency is shown to increase significantly. The theory developed in this work is then applied to an experimental situation, where sodium vapor is considered as the conversion medium. For a proper choice of the input frequencies one obtains results which allow the use of dye lasers with relative low intensities (~KW/cm²) for obtaining the same converted light power as in the off-resonant case with lasers of high intensities (~MW/cm²)

The Cojocaru generalization of the 2 3 2 extended Jones matrix method, placed in a wider context of previous approaches to anisotropic optical thin films, is analyzed from a complementary perspective. This, contrary to initial belief, allows for a simple proof that one may include multiple reflections by taking into account total fields into the anisotropic film, and this therefore provides support for a more widespread use of the method
