Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
40 words
Optical composite comprising an allyl diglycol carbonate substrate, a chromium interlayer of about 50-200A in thickness bonded on said substrate, and a glass layer of about 3.5 μm in thickness, comprising substantially SiO 2 , bonded on said chromium interlayer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
40 words
Optical composite comprising an allyl diglycol carbonate substrate, a chromium interlayer of about 50-200A in thickness bonded on said substrate, and a glass layer of about 3.5 μm in thickness, comprising substantially SiO 2 , bonded on said chromium interlayer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
An optical composite in accordance with claim 1, wherein said chromium interlayer is about 75A thick, and said glass layer is about 3.75 μm thick.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
43 words
Process for forming an optical composite comprising, depositing a chromium coating of about 50-200A in thickness upon an allyl diglycol carbonate substrate, and depositing a glass layer of about 3.25 μm in thickness, composed substantially of SiO 2 , over said chromium coating.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
43 words
Process for forming an optical composite comprising, depositing a chromium coating of about 50-200A in thickness upon an allyl diglycol carbonate substrate, and depositing a glass layer of about 3.25 μm in thickness, composed substantially of SiO 2 , over said chromium coating.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
Process according to claim 3, wherein said depositing of said chromium coating and said glass layer are effected by physical vapor deposition.
