)low-index coating material of fine performance has been studied
and the crytal structure of the thin films prepared by using the new coating material has been analyzed. Three kinds of high power laser mirrors have been prepared
including protected silver coating R=99.0%; enhanced silver coating R=99.3%; super enhanced silver coating R=99.5%. The refectivity is measured with the instrument designed by ourself.
