Diamondlike Protective Coats For Infrared Windows
Abstract
Report describes experiments in which four infrared-transparent window materials were coated with diamondlike carbon films. Purpose to investigate ability of films to protect infrared windows against erosion by rain and wind-blown hard particles. Diamondlike films chosen as protective coats because they are transparent over broad spectral range and resist attack by chemicals, moisture, and abrasion. Experiments yield mixed results.
