NIF Anti-Reflective Coating Solutions: Preparation, Procedures and Specifications

摘要

The following document contains a detailed description of the preparation procedures for the antireflective coating solutions used for NIF optics. This memo includes preparation procedures for the coating solutions (sections 2.0-4.0), specifications and vendor information of the raw materials used and on all equipment used (section 5.0), and QA specifications (section 6.0) and procedures (section 7.0) to determine quality and repeatability of all the coating solutions. There are different five coating solutions that will be used to coat NIF optics. These solutions are listed below: Colloidal silica (3%) in ethanol; Colloidal silica (2%) in sec-butanol; Colloidal silica (9%) in sec-butanol (deammoniated); HMDS treated silica (10%) in decane; GR650 (3.3%) in ethanol/sec-butanol.
