Abstract:
The invention relates to a grating (20) comprising: a multi-layer structure (26) comprising: alternating layers of materials; a plurality of grooves (30) formed between a plurality of lands (32), wherein at least one structural parameter of said plurality of grooves and plurality of lands is formed randomly in said multi-layer structure.
Abstract:
The present invention consists of a multilayer structure having at least one triad of layers where each of the three layers is a predetermined material. One of the materials is from a group including lanthanum, lanthanum oxide, or lanthanum-based alloys. A second material is disposed between the first material and a third material. The second material is from a group including carbon, silicon, boron, boron carbide or silicon carbide. The third material is from a group including boron or boron carbide. Alternatively, a fourth material is added to further strengthen and increase the water resistance of the multilayer structure. The fourth material is selected from a group including silicon, boron, boron carbide or silicon carbide. The fourth material is disposed between the third layer of multilayer period n and the first layer of multilayer period n-1.
Abstract:
An analyzer that includes a first multilayer structure, a spacer material deposited on the first multilayer structure and a second multilayer structure deposited on the spacer material.
