Optimization of the structural and optical properties of Ta₂O₅ thin films for transparent materials with high refractive index
Thin layers of tantalum pentoxide (Ta₂O₅) are key materials for optical and photonic applications, thanks to their high refractive index and low extinction coefficient. These properties make them ideal candidates for interference filters, anti-reflective coatings, optical waveguides, and microelectronic devices. However, their performance depends heavily on deposition conditions and heat treatments. Researchers have studied how…
