Abstract

Sol-gel nano-silica antireflective (AR) coatings with moisture resistance are widely used for optical elements, such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) crystals, but their mildew resistance is often disregarded. This work reports a double-layer AR coating with moisture resistance and mildew resistance for KDP crystals. A polydimethylsiloxane-modified dense silica coating and a quaternary ammonium salt (QAS) modified nanoporous silica coating are selected as the bottom layer and top layer, which effectively serve as a moisture barrier and an antireflection layer, respectively. The coated KDP crystal shows excellent antireflection properties with a maximum transmittance of 99.1% at 532 nm. Perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane vapor treatment is performed further to improve the resistance to moisture and mildew. The resultant double-layer coating exhibits superior moisture resistance with almost no change in optical transmittance after a 3-month exposure to a high-humidity environment. The introduction of QAS and hydrophobicity in the top layer provides exceptional resistance against mildew, achieving an antimicrobial rate of 99.9% against E. coli and A. flavus. Moreover, the laser-induced damage threshold reaches 17.0 J cm^-2 (355 nm, 4.5 ns). This work imparts moisture resistance and mildew resistance to AR coatings, providing valuable insights for designing multifunctional AR coatings on optical components.

用于 KDP 晶体的具有防霉和防潮性能的纳米二氧化硅双层抗反射涂层。

具有防潮性能的溶胶凝胶纳米二氧化硅抗反射（AR）涂层被广泛应用于磷酸二氢钾（KDP）晶体等光学元件，但其防霉性能往往被忽视。这项研究报告了一种用于 KDP 晶体的具有防潮和防霉性能的双层 AR 涂层。该研究选择了聚二甲基硅氧烷改性致密二氧化硅涂层和季铵盐（QAS）改性纳米多孔二氧化硅涂层作为底层和表层，它们分别有效地起到了防潮层和抗反射层的作用。涂覆后的 KDP 晶体具有优异的抗反射性能，在 532 纳米波长处的最大透射率达到 99.1%。全氟辛基三乙氧基硅烷蒸气处理可进一步提高防潮和防霉性能。在高湿度环境中暴露 3 个月后，生成的双层涂层显示出卓越的防潮性能，透光率几乎没有变化。在表层中引入 QAS 和疏水性，可提供出色的防霉性能，对大肠杆菌和黄曲霉的抗菌率高达 99.9%。此外，激光诱导损伤阈值达到 17.0 J cm-2（355 nm，4.5 ns）。这项研究为 AR 涂层赋予了防潮和防霉功能，为在光学元件上设计多功能 AR 涂层提供了宝贵的启示。
