TLDR
In this paper, a replica technique for obtaining electron micrographs of the cross-sectional structure of multilayer thin film systems is described in detail, specifically in that they show structural features which could give rise to optical inhomogeneity and anisotropy in the layers as well as unevenness in the boundaries.

Characterization of optical thin films

Pulker Hk
- 15 Jun 1979 - 
TL;DR: In this article, various properties of dielectric thin films are discussed, including refractive index and absorption coefficient, light scattering, structure, microstructure, density, gas sorption, chemical composition, homogeneity, adhesion, hardness and mechanical stress, and environmental influences.

Properties of CeO2 thin films prepared by oxygen-ion-assisted deposition.

TL;DR: The ratio of ion-current density to film growth rate required to produce films that did not adsorb moisture was found to be a minimum for ion energies in the 300–600-eV range and the crystal structure of CeO2 films is relatively stable under ion bombardment.

TL;DR: Conclusions are drawn as to how the two types of microstructure influence general film properties and, in particular, how they influence possible laser damage mechanisms.

Improved Methods for Producing Interference Filters

TL;DR: In this article, a technique is described which is a modification of that due to Giacomo and Jacquinot, and which enables such filters to be constructed without the use of control surfaces.

The stability of interference filters.

TL;DR: It is suggested that crystal growth in the spacing layer explains most of the passband changes that were observed in visible interference filters during and after manufacture.

New Method for Producing Platinum Preshadowed Carbon Substrates

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel approach to the evaporation of platinum and carbon is described, which is capable of producing routinely preshadowed carbon replicas with a resolution of better than 20 A. The technique consists of evaporating platinum from a specially shaped carbon rod which later is evaporated to coat the shadowed specimen without the necessity of opening the vacuum chamber or rotating specimen.
