膜层厚度对金属薄膜光学常数的影响

从麦克斯韦方程出发,可以得到超薄金属膜层光学常数n、k与其厚度有关系的理论依据。采用电阻热蒸发和电子束热蒸发的方法在K9玻璃基底上分别沉积了不同厚度的Cu膜、Cr膜、Ag膜,由椭偏法检测、Drude模型拟合,获得了不同厚度Cu膜、Cr膜、Ag膜光学常数n、k随波长λ的变化规律。超薄金属薄膜与块状金属的光学常数相差较大,随着薄膜厚度的增加,n、k值趋近于块状金属。通过对样品膜层吸收、色散特性的分析,发现连续金属薄膜在可见光波段对长波的吸收较大,而且相比于介质薄膜平均色散率高10mn～102nm量级。     

向列相液晶缺陷光子晶体透射光谱偏振敏感特性研究

研究了向列相液晶缺陷TiO2和SiO2交替的光学多层膜一维光子晶体透射谱偏振敏感特性。外电压下透射光谱测试和模拟结果显示,对于平行取向的向列相液晶,当自然光垂直入射时,禁带中两处出现e(TE模式)光和o光(TM模式)透射峰,具有偏振敏感性。随着电压增大,e光透射峰蓝移与o光透射峰合二为一,光谱可调谐范围分别为31和34nm;而对于取向混乱的向列相液晶,禁带中两处出现独立的透射峰,无偏振敏感性。随着电压增大峰位也蓝移,光谱可调谐范围分别为64和15nm。通过混乱取向液晶分子,可以使o光和e光有效折射率值相等,获得偏振不敏感特性。

A transparent electromagnetic-shielding film based on one-dimensional metal–dielectric periodic structures

In this study, we designed and fabricated optical materials consisting of alternating ITO and Ag layers. This approach is considered to be a promising way to obtain a light-weight, ultrathin and transparent shielding medium, which not only transmits visible light but also inhibits the transmission of microwaves, despite the fact that the total thickness of the Ag film is much larger than the skin depth in the visible range and less than that in the microwave region. Theoretical results suggest that a high dielectric/metal thickness ratio can enhance the broadband and improve the transmittance in the optical range. Accordingly, the central wavelength was found to be red-shifted with increasing dielectric/metal thickness ratio. A physical mechanism behind the controlling transmission of visible light is also proposed. Meanwhile, the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of the prepared structures was found to exceed 40 dB in the range from 0.1 GHz to 18 GHz, even reaching up to 70 dB at 0.1 GHz, which is far higher than that of a single ITO film of the same thickness.

Dispersion compensation for an ultrathin metal film using LCD—CCD system

A dispersion compensation method is introduced to correct the distorted image passing through an ultrathin metal film.An LCD-CCD system is modeled by the back propagation network and used to evaluate the transmittance of the ultrathin metal film.Training samples for the network come from 729 images captured by shooting test patches,in which the RGB values are uniformity distributed between 0 and 255.The RGB value of the original image that will be distorted by the dispersion is first transformed by mapping from the LCD to the CCD,multiplied by the inverse matrix of the transmittance matrix,and finally transformed by mapping from the CCD to the LCD,then the corrected image is obtained.In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method,ultrathin aluminum films with different thicknesses are evaporated on glass substrates and laid between the CCD and LCD.Experimental results show that the proposed method compensates for the dispersion successfully.     

Measurement of thicknesses of thin films by the Fourier spectrometry method

A Fourier spectrometry method for measuring the thickness of thin and ultrathin films with the help of an additional peak that depends on the optical thickness of the deposited film and is situated outside the region of the central peak of the interferogram is proposed. The experiment demonstrates the necessity of considering the change in optical path in the substrate that is induced by the deposited film.     

Application of longitudinal generalized magneto-optical ellipsometry in magnetic ultrathin films

The longitudinal generalized magneto-optical ellipsometry(GME) method is extended to the measurement of threelayer ultrathin magnetic films. In this work, the theory of the reflection matrix is introduced into the GME measurement to obtain the reflective matrix parameters of ultrathin multilayer magnetic films with different thicknesses. After that, a spectroscopic ellipsometry is used to determine the optical parameter and the thickness of every layer of these samples, then the magneto-optical coupling constant of the multilayer magnetic ultrathin film can be obtained. After measurements of a series of ultrathin Fe films, the results show that the magneto-optical coupling constant Q is independent of the thickness of the magnetic film. The magneto-optical Kerr rotations and ellipticity are measured to confirm the validity of this experiment. Combined with the optical constants and the Q constant, the Kerr rotations and ellipticity are calculated in theory. The results show that the theoretical curve fits very well with the experimental data.     

Reflection characterization of anisotropic ultrathin dielectric films on absorbing isotropic substrates

The reflection of linearly polarized light from an ultrathin anisotropic dielectric film on isotropic absorbing substrate is investigated analytically in the long-wavelength limit. All analytical results are correlated with the numerical solution of the anisotropic reflection problem on the basis of rigorous electromagnetic theory. Simple analytical approach developed in this work not only gives a physical insight into the reflection problem but also provides a way of estimating the necessary experimental accuracy for optical diagnostics by reflection characteristics. It is shown that obtained expressions are of immediate interest for determining the parameters of anisotropic surface layers. Innovative possibilities for optical diagnostics of anisotropic properties of ultrathin dielectric layers upon absorbing materials are discussed.

Anomalous absorption of TM electromagnetic waves by an ultrathin layer: optical analog of liquid friction

A strong maximum of absorption (as much as 100%) of bulk TM electromagnetic waves by an ultrathin film with imaginary dielectric permittivity is shown to exist at some optimal film thickness. This typical thickness is usually much smaller than the wavelength and the wave penetration depth in the material of the film. The absorptivity maximum increases and the typical thickness decreases with increasing dielectric permittivity of the layer. An optical analog of linear (liquid) friction is discussed. A frictional contact approximation for TM electromagnetic waves is analyzed, and relevant boundary conditions with an optical coefficient of friction are derived.
