Thin film coatings for improved alpha/epi
Abstract
New thin film coatings were developed for fused silica, ceria doped glass, and Corning 0211 microsheet which provide increased emissivity and/or decreased solar absorption. Emissivity is enhanced by suppression of the reststrahlen reflectance and solar absorption is reduced by externally reflecting the ultraviolet portion of the solar spectrum. Optical properties of these coatings make them suitable for both solar cell cover and thermal control mirror applications. Measurements indicate equivalent environmental performance to conventional solar cell cover and thermal control mirror products.
