Quarter- and half-wave stacks of MgF2 and LaF3 with increasing thickness are deposited onto CaF2 and fused silica and are systematically characterized. Roughness measurements carried out by atomic force microscopy reveal the evolution of the power spectral densities of the interfaces with coating thickness. Backward-scattering measurements are presented, and the results are compared with theoretical predictions that use different models for the statistical correlation of interfacial roughnesses.11 p.application/pdfeng(c) Optical Society of America, 2000Dispersió de la llumÒptica electrònicaLight scatteringElectron opticsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article194020info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
