Nf. Bakeev et al., Fabricating polymeric substrates with periodic microrelief and investigating their optical properties, J OPT TECH, 68(9), 2001, pp. 709-713
This paper discusses the processes of the appearance of microrelief and its
parameters on films of polymethyl methacrylate 1 mm thick and polyethylene
terephthalate (PETP) 0.7 mm thick with a hard platinum coating. It is prop
osed to optimize the process for fabricating PETP substrates with microreli
ef. The birefringence and the transmittance of the films are studied as a f
unction of their stretching. The possibility of using them as scatterers fo
r displays, diffraction gratings. and other optical elements is discussed.
