CVD diamond thin film for IR optics and X-ray optics

Optical quality diamond thin films have been deposited using a hot filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) system. The diamond films were character ized by Raman shift spectra, X-ray diffraction spectra, scanning electron m icroscopy. Diamond near infrared antireflective filter window and diamond X -ray window have been fabricated using above technology. The diamond near i nfrared antireflective filter windows have been successfully used in on-lin e monitoring at Shanghai Baosteel Works. It has produced annual benefit as much as 2.4 million RMB Yuan.
