CEA Sol-Gel Laboratory

CHEMISTRY
Among the different colloidal systems which chemistry is tailored for coating deposition processing are :SiO2, ZrO2, TiO2, Ta2O5, Hf2O3,....
For specific applications other compositions (mixed oxides or organic-inorganic systems) can be developed upon request. 

 

Example of Antireflective coatings 

The laboratory developed processes for manufacturing large area optical coatings of high quality and performances with  more than 20 layers of different refractive index sol-gel made oxides
