Title: Glancing-angle-deposited silica films for ultraviolet wave plates

Abstract

Birefringent silica films are formed by glancing-angle deposition to fabricate quarter- and half-wave plates at a wavelength of 351 nm. A multilayer design is implemented here to achieve low-loss transmittance with a high 351-nm laser-induced–damage threshold.
