  • Abstract
    We deposited composite Ta2O5-MgF2 thin films by coevaporation, and explored their optical and mechanical properties. The refractive indices of pure Ta2O5 and MgF2 films were 1.94~2.15 and 1.38 at 550 nm wavelength, respectively. In the composite film system, the measured refractive index agreed well with the Lorentz-Lorenz formula and all films had tensile stress, in the range (0.7~3.1)×109 dyne/cm2, depending upon the film composition. The film stress did not vary linearly with the film composition
