Definitions
- the present invention relates to multilayer optical interference films, and more particularly to optical interference films which reflect light in the infrared region of the spectrum while transmitting substantially all light in the visible spectrum.
- Coextruded multilayer films have been made which comprise multiple alternating layers of two polymers with individual layer thicknesses of 100 nanometers or less. Such multilayer films are described, for example, in Alfrey et al, U.S. Pat. No. 3,711,176. When polymers are selected to have a sufficient mismatch in refractive indices, these multilayer films cause constructive interference of light. This results in the film transmitting certain wavelengths of light through the film while reflecting other wavelengths.
- the multilayer films can be fabricated from relatively inexpensive and commercially available polymer resins having the desired refractive index differences. The films have the further advantage in that they may be shaped or formed into other objects.
- the reflection and transmission spectra for a particular film are primarily dependent on the optical thickness of the individual layers, where optical thickness is defined as the product of the actual thickness of the layer times its refractive index.
- Films can be designed to reflect infrared, visible, or ultraviolet wavelengths of light depending on the optical thickness of the layers. When designed to reflect infrared wavelengths of light, such prior art films also exhibit higher order reflections in the visible range, resulting in an iridescent appearance for the films.
- the films produced in accordance with the above mentioned Alfrey patent exhibit iridescence and changing colors as the angle of incident light on the film is changed.
- infrared reflecting films can be laminated to glass in buildings and automobiles to reduce air conditioning loads.
- the films may also be laminated to other substantially transparent plastic materials to reflect infrared wavelengths.
- the films must be substantially transparent to visible light so that the vision of those looking through the glass or plastic is not impaired.
- optical coatings comprising layers of three or more materials which are able to suppress certain higher order reflections.
- Thelen U.S. Pat. No. 3,247,392 describes an optical coating used as a band pass filter reflecting in the infrared and ultraviolet regions of the spectrum. The coating is taught to suppress second and third order reflectance bands.
- the materials used in the fabrication of the coating are metal oxide and halide dielectric materials which must be deposited in separate processing steps using expensive vacuum deposition techniques. Also, once deposited, the coatings and the substrates to which they are adhered cannot be further shaped or formed. Further, the coatings are subject to chipping, scratching, and/or corrosion and must be protected. Finally, because vacuum deposition techniques must be used, it is difficult to fabricate coatings which cover larger surface areas.
- Rock U.S. Pat. No. 3,432,225, teaches a four layer antireflection coating which utilizes specified thicknesses of the first two layers of the coating to synthesize a layer having an effective index of refraction which is intermediate that of the first two layers.
- Rock uses metal halides, oxides, sulfides, and selenides which are deposited in separate processing steps using vacuum deposition techniques.
- the present invention meets that need by providing an optical interference film made of multiple layers of diverse polymers which reflects wavelengths of light in the infrared region of the spectrum while being substantially transparent to wavelengths of light in the visible spectrum.
- diverse we mean that the polymeric materials need not differ in any respect except in terms of refractive index.
- adjacent layers may be chemically diverse, if such materials have the same refractive index, then for purposes of the present invention they are not "diverse".
- the number of layers may vary within a wide range of from about 50 to over 1000 layers.
- an optical interference film comprising multiple alternating layers of at least first, second, and third diverse, substantially transparent polymeric materials A, B, and C, is provided with the layers being of an optical thickness of between about 0.09 and 0.45 micrometers and each of the polymeric materials having a different index of refraction, n i .
- the optical thickness of a given layer may be defined as the physical thickness, d, times the refractive index, n i , of the polymeric material.
- the refractive index of the second polymeric material is intermediate the respective refractive indices of the first and third polymeric materials.
- the optical thickness ratio of first material A, f A is 1/3

- windshields and canopies on certain aircraft are fabricated from tough polymeric resins. Laminating the optical interference film of the present invention to, or incorporating the film into, such polymeric resins would provide protection from infrared radiation while still providing substantial transparency to light in the visible region of the spectrum.
- the films themselves, as well as the plastics to which they are laminated may be shaped or post-formed into a variety of useful objects. Because the films are substantially transparent to light in the visible region of the spectrum, substantially no iridescence or other undesirable color effects are present.
- an object of the present invention to provide an infrared reflective optical interference film which can suppress a plurality of or multiple successive higher order visible reflections and yet be fabricated using relatively inexpensive materials. Further it is an object of the present invention to provide an optical interference film which can itself be formed into a variety of useful shapes or which can be laminated to other substrates which can be shaped or post-formed.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-section of a preferred three component multilayer polymeric optical interference film of the present invention laminated to a transparent substrate, where the first polymer, A, has a refractive index, n A , the second polymer, B, has a refractive index, n B , and the third polymer, C, has a refractive index, n C .
- the present invention provides improved multilayer optical interference films with a number of desirable properties including infrared reflectivity over a broad bandwidth in the infrared range, substantial transparency to visible light, and the capability of being shaped, or laminated and then shaped, to form a number of useful articles.
- the optical theory of multiple reflections from layers having differing refractive indices demonstrates the dependency of the effect on both individual layer thickness, and refractive index of the material. See, Radford, et al, "Reflectivity of Iridescent Coextruded Multilayered Plastic Films", Polymer, Engineering and Science 13, 3, pg. 216 (1973).
- the primary or first order reflected wavelengths for a two component multilayer film is given by the equation below.
- ⁇ I is the wavelength of first order reflection in nanometers
- n 1 and n 2 are the refractive indices of the two polymers
- d 1 and d 2 are the layer thicknesses of the two polymers, also in nanometers.
- the first order reflected wavelength is proportional to the sum of the optical thicknesses of the two polymers (where optical thickness, n i d i , is the product of layer thickness times refractive index).
- optical thickness, n i d i is the product of layer thickness times refractive index.
- higher order reflections occur at integer fractions of the first order.
- the relative intensity of these higher order reflections depends on the ratio of the optical thickness of the polymer components.
- Radford et al by controlling the optical thickness ratios in a two component system, different order reflections may be enhanced while others are suppressed. However, it is not possible to suppress multiple successive higher order reflections in a two component multilayer polymer system.
- a two component multilayer optical interference film designed to reflect strongly in the near infrared region of the spectrum will exhibit unwanted reflectivity in the visual region of the spectrum as well because of such higher order reflections.
- Such films typically appear to have a range of iridescent colors.
- a multilayer optical interference film containing an m-layer repeating unit, where m is an integer of four or greater, is provided to suppress unwanted higher order reflections.
- Such a film includes at least three different polymer materials in its structure.
- the first order reflection will occur at a wavelength ⁇ I , where: ##EQU3##
- the Nth order reflection will occur at a wavelength ⁇ N , where: ##EQU4##
- the relative intensities of the higher order reflections are controlled by the values of the optical thickness ratios, f i , where: ##EQU5## etc. up to m number of repeating units. Because there is more than one optical thickness ratio for this system, the ratios may be adjusted to suppress at least two successive higher order reflections. The practical effect of this is that for optical interference films designed to reflect in the near infrared region of the spectrum, higher order reflections which would ordinarily appear in the visible region of the spectrum and cause the film to exhibit iridescence are suppressed.
