title: Manufacturing of an absorbing filter controlled with a broadband optical monitoring.
abstract: This paper deals with a broadband optical monitoring set up useful for the manufacturing of absorbing coatings. The monitoring strategy consists in simultaneous measurements of transmittance and reflectance over a large spectral range. The resulting analysis allows then to determine the real time deposited thickness. A stage of design correction is possible after the deposition and analysis of each layer. This method has potential for thin metallic layers coatings. We then describe layer after layer the strategy for the control and manufacturing of a filter with given colorimetric properties.
