Abstract: A vapor deposition device and a method for depositing a coating on a substrate are disclosed. The device includes a heating chamber for containing plasma and an evaporant chamber for containing an evaporant source. Evaporant is generated by heating of the evaporant source by the plasma. The heating chamber is both separated from the evaporant chamber and in thermally conductive connectivity with the evaporant chamber. The method includes supplying plasma to a heating chamber; heating an evaporant source by transfer of heat from the plasma to in an amount sufficient to generate evaporant from the evaporant source; and condensing the evaporant or a reaction product thereof on a surface of the substrate to form a coating thereon. The plasma is maintained in isolation from the evaporant source and the evaporant.

Abstract: A low emissivity and EMI shielding transparent composite film typically for use in association with window glazing and comprising a transparent film substrate having on one side thereof an underlayer of abrasion resistant hardcoat material with at least one infrared reflective layer covering the underlayer, typically a metallic layer which may be encased in metal oxide layers, which is then covered with a thin external protective top coat of a cured fluorinated resin.

Abstract: Now, according to the present invention, interference filters are provided that incorporate two band pass interference filters into a single composite interference filter. The two filters each have at least one band pass curve that is centered at the same wavelength for light that is incident at a given angle to the filter surface. The band pass curve shifts of the filter components, however, are dissimilar, which results in a decrease of transmitted light as the angle of incidence diverges from the given angle.
