  • Method for producing a radiation-absorbing optical element and corresponding radiation absorbing optical element
    Patent number: 8021560
    Abstract: In a process for the fabrication of a radiation-absorbing optical element that contains a substrate (1) of plastic, a layer with a graduated refractive index (4) is fabricated on at least one surface (2) of the substrate (1) using a plasma etching process, after which a metal layer (7) is applied on top of the layer with a graduated refractive index (4).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 8, 2005

  • Method for Producing a Nanostructure on a Plastic Surface
    Publication number: 20090261063
    Abstract: A nanostructure is produced at a surface of a substrate composed of a plastic by means of a plasma etching process. A thin layer is applied to the plastic substrate and the plasma etching process is subsequently carried out.

  • Rear Surface Mirror
    Publication number: 20080096010
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rear surface mirror having a substrate which is transparent for the light to be reflected and having a silver layer which is applied on its rear side, a first intermediate layer being introduced as underlayer between the substrate and the silver layer at least in regions, said underlayer comprising a high-melting oxide or containing the latter and having a higher melting point than silver, and a further cover layer being applied on the side of the silver layer, which is orientated away from the substrate, at least in regions, said cover layer comprising one of the high-melting metals ruthenium, iridium, osmium, palladium, platinum, rhenium and/or rhodium or containing these.

  • Method for reducing boundary surface reflection of plastic substrates and substrate modified in such a manner and use thereof
    Publication number: 20050233083
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for reducing the surface reflectance of polymer substrates by means of ion bombardment, in which at least one substrate surface is modified by means of an argon/oxygen plasma with formation of a refractive index gradient layer.
