Definitions
- Current laser imaged printing plate technology is limited by the laser sensitivity of the currently available materials. In use, the printing plate can be imaged directly on the printing press, or in a flatbed scanner. In either case the laser fluence needs to be equal to or above 400 mj/cm 2 in order for the plate to be imaged. Due to imperfections in the surface of the plate and the surface it is mounted to, variation in focal depth occur. In order to overcome these variations it is necessary to improve the operating range of the plate imaging system.
- Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view of a thin film incorporating the present invention showing a thin film stack on a polymer substrate.
- a thin film stack 16 is carried by the first surface 13 and can be provided with leaky or non-leaky tuned optical cavities.
- the stack 16 consists of a first partially transmissive reflective metal layer 17 that is vacuum deposited onto the first surface 13.
- the first metal layer can be formed of a bright metal such as aluminum or a gray metal such as chromium, nickel, or titanium which is to act both as an absorber and a reflector in the design of the present invention.
- the first metal layer 17 is deposited to a thickness ranging from 65-500 A so that it is partially absorbing, transmissive, and reflective with the optimum thickness being selected to give the highest figure of merit when heat capacity, thermal conductivity and absorption are considered.
- the optimum thickness for the first metal layer when titanium is used for that layer is 220 A.
