Abstract

Transparent plastics have been used for optical applications with growing demand. This development is accompanied by a desire for extended surface functionalities. Most important optical surface function is antireflection (AR), which is performed mainly by applying plasma-assisted processes. Critical considerations for coating polymers include interaction with emission from plasma and thermal stress. State-of-the-art vacuum processes for coating on plastic, as well as new results of research and development in the fields of AR design and AR structures will be introduced and discussed.

Keywords: antireflection; plasma coating; plasma-etched nanostructures; plastic optics; stress; OCIS codes: 160.5470; 310.4925; 310.1210

Ulrike Schulz received her diploma in Physical Chemistry in 1986 and her PhD in 1993 from the University of Jena. Since 1997, she is managing the research group Coating on Plastics at Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering in Jena, Germany. She has authored a large number of papers and patents on vacuum coating on plastics and antireflection coatings.

I would like to thank all former and present coworkers of the research group ‘coating on plastics’ at IOF Jena, among them P. Munzert, A. Kaless, K. Taeschner, R. Leitel, I. Wendling, C. Praefke, and N. Bollwahn.
