摘要

Ultralow-absorption laser films have critical applications in high-power continuous-laser and gravitational-wave-detection systems. During film deposition, the ionic oxygen concentration significantly affects the absorption loss of the film. In this study, Ta2O5 monolayers were deposited using an ion-assisted electron beam evaporation technique, and the weak absorption at 1064 nm, temperature rise, optical band gap, element content, and binding energy were tested and analyzed. The band structure and microdefects of the Ta2O5 films were characterized, and their correlation with the absorption properties was established. The analyses revealed that the primary mechanism responsible for reducing the absorption loss in Ta2O5 films was an appropriate ionic oxygen concentration, which improved the optical band gap and stoichiometric ratio and reduced oxygen vacancy defects. For Ta2O5 monolayers deposited with the optimal ionic oxygen concentration, the weak absorption was approximately 7.2 ppm and the temperature rise was approximately 0.6 °C, 1/4 and 1/3 of the values of those deposited with an excessive concentration, respectively—an important finding in the preparation of ultralow-absorption laser films.
