Abstract
A method of forming a stress distributed coating layer is provided which comprises depositing a coating material emanating from a source at a first location on a backside of an optical substrate at a first bias voltage to provide a first coating region at the first location characterized by a first stress and depositing the coating material at a second location on the backside of the optical substrate at a second bias voltage to provide a second coating region at the second location characterized by a second stress, thereby forming a stress distributed coating layer on the backside of the optical substrate comprising the first and second coating regions. Deposition systems and coated optical substrates are also provided.
