摘要
Passive devices made of SiO2/TiO2 bilayers have been demanded for the molding of electromagnetic waves in optical waveguides, microcavities, solar cells, sensors and so on. Here, we present the fabrication and characterization of SiO2/TiO2 multilayer structures as reflectors. The refractive indices were found to be 1.43 & 2.0 with thicknesses 230 & 70 nm corresponding to the SiO2 and TiO2 films respectively. AFM surface topography study showed little bit large surface roughness of the TiO2 as compared to SiO2 film due to its large grain size. The corresponding reflectance enhancement was noticed with the increased number of bilayers of SiO2/TiO2 films. Furthermore, six alternate layers of SiO2/TiO2 demonstrated the as much as 78% reflectance in the near-infrared wavelength range. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
