Abstract:
A reflective optical coating has a thin film of silver as the primary reflecting material, a thin protective anti-oxidation layer of nickel oxide (NiO) deposited directly on top of the silver layer, and one or more thin transparent barrier layers deposited on top of the NiO, where each barrier layer is composed of a fluoride, a metal oxide, or a nitride. Optionally, a thin protective layer of NiO or Ni may be included, directly beneath the silver layer. Optionally, one or more thin barrier underlayer(s) may be included below the silver (and below the Ni or NiO protective layer, if present), where each of the barrier underlayers is a fluoride, a metal oxide, a metal nitride, or a bare metal.

Claim (Index 14):
The reflective optical coating of  claim 1  where the silver reflective layer, the protective nickel oxide layer, and/or the transparent barrier layer is deposited by e-beam, ion-assisted e-beam, sputter, cathodic arc physical vapor deposition, or atomic layer deposition.
