Abstract
Refinement and thin film synthesis methods were used by members of six different institutions to design anti-reflection coatings for germanium substrates. The solutions are based on the use of zinc sulfide and germanium layers only. Several systems were found with an average reflectance that is less than 1% in the 7.7 to 12.3 μm spectral region.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
