Evaporation method of recording media onto cylindrical information carriers

At present there exist many methods of preparing film structures on an inner surface of cylindrical elements by vacuum technology. They are designed for evaporation of metallic, oxide and other surface layers mainly and cannot practically be used for the formation of optical layers using multi-component, strong dissociative materials. Therefore we have developed the flash evaporation method using fiber as a film-forming material. This method allows us to obtain defect-free, x-ray amorphous, uniform over the thickness recording layers from multi-component strong dissociative materials.© (1997) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
