Optical articles of zinc sulfide and zinc selenide with thick coatings of alumina are disclosed. The alumina coatings are deposited on the zinc sulfide and zinc selenide by a microwave assisted magnetron sputtering. In addition to alumina coatings, the optical articles may also include various polymer coatings.

Method of making durable articles

Methods of making polycrystalline monolithic magnesium aluminate spinels are disclosed. The polycrystalline monolithic magnesium aluminate spinels have small grain sizes and may be deposited on substrates as thick one-piece deposits. The polycrystalline monolithic magnesium aluminate spinels may be prepared and deposited by chemical vapor deposition using magnesium and aluminum gaseous precursors.

Method of making polycrystalline monolithic magnesium aluminate spinels

An apparatus includes a manifold with a chamber for mixing multiple reactants. Gases are jetted into the manifold by a plurality of inlet injectors. The inlet injectors are arranged such that the gases passing into the manifold impinge on each other at a common point to form a mixture. The mixture passes through a plurality of holes in one side of the manifold into a deposition chamber where the mixture of gases impinges on additional gases at a common point to provide a reaction resulting in deposition of solid materials in the deposition chamber. The solid materials are free-standing.
