Upcoming Webinar

Fundamental Properties and Real-World Breakdown of Low Absorption Thin Films from the Visible to Infrared

When: 12 October 2021, 11:00 EDT (UTC - 04:00)

In this webinar hosted by the Thin Films Technical Group, Prof. Joey Talghader from the University of Minnesota will discuss the fundamental properties and limits of low absorption thin films from the visible to infrared. Additionally, Prof. Talghader will review common measurements to quantify very low levels of loss, and then discuss the surprisingly predictable optical breakdown of thin films in the presence of surface particles and contaminants.
