DIAMOND LIKE CARBON (DLC) COATINGS FOR NIR TO LWIR

COATING DESCRIPTION:

Single-layer DLC or Hard Carbon coating on Si and Ge substrates for NIR to LWIR wavelengths.

OPTICAL PERFORMANCE:

This is dependent on the substrate and the wavelength region. This graph shows the DLC coating performance on Si with a Non-Radioactive AR coating on the second side.

DURABILITY PERFORMANCE:

Adhesion, moderate abrasion, severe abrasion, sand slurry, humidity, salt solubility, salt fog, and water solubility as per the following (where applicable): MIL-C-675, MIL-M-13508, MIL-M-14806, MIL-C-48497, MIL-F-48616, MIL-STD-810F
