    Area of Science:

    • Materials Science
    • Optics
    • Surface Chemistry

    Background:

    • Optical components require high-performance antireflective (AR) coatings to minimize light loss.
    • Traditional thin-film AR coatings can be susceptible to laser-induced damage, limiting their application in high-power laser systems.
    • Developing novel AR surfaces with enhanced durability and optical properties is crucial for advanced optical technologies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a novel method for creating durable antireflective surfaces on optical borosilicate glass.
    • To characterize the optical properties, specifically reflectivity, of the produced surfaces.
    • To evaluate the laser-induced damage threshold of the novel antireflective surfaces and compare it to existing technologies.

    Main Methods:

    • Controlled corrosion of optical borosilicate glass in nearly neutral solutions.
    • Surface characterization using reflectivity measurements.
    • Assessment of laser-induced damage threshold using 1-nanosecond, 1.06-micrometer laser pulses.

    Main Results:

    • Antireflective surfaces with reflectivity below 0.1% were successfully produced.
    • The median laser-induced damage threshold was determined to be 12 J/cm(2) for 1-nsec, 1.06-micrometer pulses.
    • The developed surfaces demonstrated a median damage threshold twice that of conventional thin-film antireflection coatings.

    Conclusions:

    • Controlled corrosion offers a viable method for fabricating highly effective antireflective surfaces on borosilicate glass.
    • The resulting surfaces exhibit exceptional optical performance and significantly improved laser-induced damage resistance.
    • This technique presents a promising alternative to thin-film coatings for demanding optical applications, particularly in high-power laser systems.
