Abstract
Optical elements including YbFlayers with high transmittance in the LWIR spectral range are described. The YbFlayer is produced by an ion-assisted deposition process under high voltage conditions. Dense, uniform, and nearly defect-free YbFlayers are formed. The improved material quality of the YbFlayers leads to low absorption in the LWIR spectral range, especially at wavelengths above 10.0 microns. The extinction coefficient of the YbFlayers is less than 0.0400 at a wavelength of 13.5 microns.
