What is Design and demonstration of PECVD multilayer dielectric mirrors optimized for micromachined cavity angled sidewalls about?

This paper reports on the design and implementation of high efficiency, nonmetallic reflectors integrated on the sidewalls of micromachined cavities. Due to shadowing from deposition within a cavity, significant variation in the thicknesses of the dielectric thin films composing the reflectors are encountered when the layers are deposited by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD). These gradients in thickness limit the performance of the reflector at the intended design wavelength. An optimized design procedure is described to maximize the performance of the reflector at the D 1 absorption wavelength of 87 Rb of 795 nm for use in micromachined atomic vapor cells. The reflector design is based on multiple shifted quarter wave Bragg reflectors in series, which extends the reflective bandwidth for increased robustness to film thickness gradients. The extended reflectance range maintains high reflection at the design wavelength despite greater than 70% decrease in film thickness across the reflector surface. The reflector technology is ideally suited for use in atomic MEMS vapor cell applications by achieving high reflectance while maintaining light polarization. We demonstr
