Abstract

722,006. Mirrors. SCHROEDER, H. May 28, 1951 [Dec. 27, 1948], No. 12470/51. Class 97 (1). A mirror comprises a support and a reflector superimposed on a surface thereof, said reflector consisting of at least one multi-layer interference film having alternate layers of high and low refractive index, each layer having an optical thickness approximately equal to one-quarter of the wavelength 550 mÁ so that minimum reflection occurs in the near infra-red region and amounts to less than 20 per cent while at least 80 per cent of the visible light is reflected. The support may be of glass and each high index layer may be of a material having an absorption coefficient equal to or smaller than 0.25 in the visible spectrum. In one mirror, the high refractive index layers are of antimony sulphide and the low index layers are of cryolite and the surface of the film may be protected by a coating of colourless lacquer or by a coating as of magnesium fluoride about 280 mÁ thick. To increase the reflection in the short wave region below 500 mÁ a substance, such as thallium sulphide, silicon or cadmium telluride, with an absorption coefficient greater than 0.10 in the visible spectrum may be used for the layer contacting the support. The mirror shown comprises a glass support 101 having thereon a film comprising high refractive index layers 14 as of zinc sulphide or thallium iodide and low index layers 15 as of cryolite or magnesium fluoride. Upon this film is deposited a layer 16 as of magnesium fluoride and having an optical thickness of approximately 412 mÁ. A further film is deposited on layer 16, this film having high index layers 17 and low index layers 18, each of these layers having an optical thickness different from the corresponding layer of the first film by at least 10 per cent. The thicknesses and refractive indices of the film may be so chosen that with an angle of incidence of at least 50 degrees on the top layer the intensity of that component of the light which vibrates parallel or perpendicular to the plane of incidence is suppressed after reflection so that substantially linearly polarized light is reflected. Specification 698,058 is referred to.
