Abstract:
Spectral properties of quarter-wave stacks deposited on microspheres are investigated with Mie theory. These properties are converted into colorimetric spaces to deal with visual applications. An ion-beam-sputtering process is then implemented to produce elementary stacks on the spheres, and the resulting powders are characterized.
