In order to reduce the optical energy loss and parasitic feedback phenomenon caused by Fresnel reflection and improve the output efficiency of the intense laser device, antireflection films meeting different working wavelengths must be deposited on the surface of the crystal before use.
Crystalline coatings are more difficult to apply than coatings on conventional substrates (e.g., quartz, BK7), primarily because the thermal stress generated by the coating is very likely to crack the coating, which directly affects the life of the film and the resistance to laser damage.
In particular, with LBO crystals, the difference in thermal expansion coefficient (α) is large due to the characteristics of the LBO crystals themselves, such as anisotropy, especiallyx=10.8×10-5/K,αy=8.8×10-5/K,αz=3.4×10-5and/K), and the change in anisotropy changes with the change in crystal temperature, the coating film is more difficult and cracks are likely to occur.
In order to improve the above problems, the present application provides a crystal coating film element and a corresponding manufacturing method, and the following describes the crystal coating film element, the manufacturing method thereof, and the crystal film system in the embodiments of the present application.

The crystal coating element has better crack resistance, and the transmittance at 527nm reaches 99.5 percent, and the broadband transmittance within the wave band range of (800 +/-50) nm reaches more than 99 percent. The problem of film cracking caused by the anisotropy of the LBO crystal after film forming is effectively solved, the service life of the film is prolonged, and the guarantee is provided for the continuous output of high-power energy of a strong laser device.
In other embodiments of the present application, in which the crystal substrate is BBO or KDP, the element can be anti-reflective over a single wavelength and a broad wavelength range, with superior broadband transmission.
In addition, the crystal coating element can realize the functions only through one matching film and one antireflection film, can improve the element coating efficiency, and can reduce chemical pollution caused by mutual permeation among chemical films.

The buffer film may also be used to adjust the overall refractive index of the film layer, and thus the refractive indices of the buffer film and the matching film may not be the same, and the refractive indices of each of the buffer films may not be exactly the same.
