Design and preparation of a large-size laser-protective coating for solar arrays on spacecrafts

Zhenfeng Shen

In this letter, we introduce the project of multilayer dielectric film based on conventional optics to design laser-protective coating. A desired material with an ideal refractive index is used to optimize the design results. Two film-thickness masks are designed to improve the uniformity of large-size coatings. Experimental results show that the average spectral transmittance from 400 to 1000 nm is higher than 85%, the attenuation of high-energy laser at both 532 and 1064 nm is larger than 98% in the range of ±20° and the film uniformity of large area is more than 98.2%. The coating performance observed meets the requirements of both utilization of solar energy and laser protection.
