An optical coating is one or more thin layers of material deposited on an optical component such as a lens or mirror, which alters the way in which the optic reflects and transmits light. One type of optical coating is an antireflection coating, which reduces unwanted reflections from surfaces, and is commonly used on spectacle and photographic lenses. Another type is the highreflector coating which can be used to produce mirrors that reflect greater than 99.99% of the light which falls on them. More complex optical coatings exhibit high reflection over some range of wavelengths, and antireflection over another range, allowing the production of dichroic thinfilm optical filters. Technologies Andover has a variety of optical coating technologies at its disposal, providing customers with solutions tailored to their specific applications. Technologies include: Magnetron Sputtering IonAssisted EBeam deposition Resistance Evaporation Hybrid Technologies We can design and manufacture coatings to meet your most demanding requirements.

All Andover chambers are internally custombuilt, computercontrolled, and use the latest deposition techniques. -
Reflectance in Thin Films
TECHNICAL PAPER Reflectance in Thin Films Abstract Reflectance (R) is the fraction of incident light reflected from a surface and is an intrinsic optical property of thin films. It is essential in determining color, transparency and polarization characteristics of the film. Total internal reflectance is also important in devices such as optical waveguides. Reflectance depends on the energy band structure and associated plasma frequency of charge carriers. As a result, high reflection spectral regions are different for metals, semiconductors and insulators. Basic relations that determine reflectance will be presented and related to refractive index, extinction coefficient, color and transparency of these three classes of thin film materials. Reflectance of thin films also depends on thickness and surface quality. In addition to spectral dependence, the color associated with reflectance can also be described by Tristimulus values and Chromaticity diagrams. Antireflection and high reflection multilayer thin film coatings will also be addressed. Introduction The reflectivity or reflectance (R), of a surface is an intrinsic optical property of a surface. In many optical, electrooptic, telecommunications, solar concentrator and architectural applications, reflectance must either be controlled (reduced or enhanced), or the color of the object changed (e.g., given a “gold” color). For example, heat mirrors are used to reflect infrared wavelengths to reduce heat loss or ingress through windows. Infrared reflectance must be maximized while keeping visible light transmission through the window high. Multilayer low-e and solar control coatings are used to achieve this performance but must be applied to low cost plastic films and glazings. Combined with absorption, reflectance determines color and intensity (or energy) of reflected light. -

Light and Color
Chapter 9 LIGHT AND COLOR What Is Color? Color is a human phenomenon. To the physicist, the only difference be- tween light with a wavelength of 400 nanometers and that of 700 nm is Different wavelengths wavelength and amount of energy. However a normal human eye will see cause the eye to see another very significant difference: The shorter wavelength light will different colors. cause the eye to see blue-violet and the longer, deep red. Thus color is the response of the normal eye to certain wavelengths of light. It is nec- essary to include the qualifier “normal” because some eyes have abnor- malities which makes it impossible for them to distinguish between certain colors, red and green, for example. Note that “color” is something that happens in the human seeing ap- Only light itself paratus—when the eye perceives certain wavelengths of light. There is causes sensations of no mention of paint, pigment, ink, colored cloth or anything except light color. itself. Clear understanding of this point is vital to the forthcoming discus- sion. Colorants by themselves cannot produce sensations of color. If the proper light waves are not present, colorants are helpless to produce a sensation of color. Thus color resides in the eye, actually in the retina- optic-nerve-brain combination which teams up to provide our color sen- Color vision is sations. How this system works has been a matter of study for many years complex and not and recent investigations, many of them based on the availability of new completely brain scanning machines, have made important discoveries. -

Ebook Free Illuminating the Play: the Artistry of Lighting Design
Ebook Free Illuminating The Play: The Artistry Of Lighting Design If you hope either to learn or to improve your craft as a lighting designer, if you hope to elevate your work to the level of art, or if you yearn for recognition of your work…then you should pay close attention to everything Dennis Parichy shares with you in this remarkable book. - Marshall W. Mason  In writing this book and so sharing his rich experience and thoughts about lighting design, Dennis has discharged a huge obligation to colleagues and future designers. I believe they will all end up as indebted to him and his creativity as I am. - Athol Fugard   In Illuminating the Play multiple Tony Award - nominee Dennis Parichy shares the personal and technical experience of transforming the pages of a script into a fully textured lighting design that frames and reveals the world of the play.  All lighting design must support a play's artistry while working within the limitations of space, set, time, and budget. In taking you through the design process for lighting four plays (Talley's Folley; Ashes; Six Characters in Search of an Author; and String of Pearls), Parichy shows how he struggled artistically and technically with the peculiarities and conditions of each. He describes how he wrestled with each design, how he established goals for it, and, finally, how he turned it into workable plots and hookups. He further illustrates his thinking with an indispensible treasury of nearly 250 sketches, notes, photos, and diagrams on an accompanying CD.
