The infrared approach in the above applications has in many cases been reduced to useful empirical methods, but the technique typically relies on the superior throughput and sensitivity of Fourier transform infrared spectrometers (FTIR). Due to the advent of readily obtainable FTIR spectrometers, it is now possible to take infrared spectra of monolayer amounts of molecules adsorbed on surfaces.","PeriodicalId":170034,"journal":{"name":"Workshop on Optical Fabrication and Testing","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114689761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Applications of this gold coating for mirrors, reflectors, integrating spheres, and diffraction gratings will be discussed. Design considerations, such as its ability to be deposited over glass as well as metal substrates and its diamond machine ability, will be touched upon.","PeriodicalId":170034,"journal":{"name":"Workshop on Optical Fabrication and Testing","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115051346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Metals, ceramics, semiconductors, and other materials have been considered for mirror substrates. The requirement of an extremely smooth, low scatter surface has spurred a large effort to learn how to polish several unconventional materials, and good results have been achieved in some cases. We will describe in detail the polishing of two of these materials, silicon and molybdenum, and will also mention others. Differential interference contrast (DIC) micrographs and surface profiles of selected materials will be shown, along with rms roughness values obtained from total integrated scattering (TIS) measurements and roughnesses measured directly with a surface profiling instrument.","PeriodicalId":170034,"journal":{"name":"Workshop on Optical Fabrication and Testing","volume":"135 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117132707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
