Abstract
The method of depositing coatings on optical surfaces from solutions can now, after recent improvements, be used advantageously for coating large glass surfaces. It is shown that highly resistant oxide layers may thus be obtained with a series of elements of most groups of the periodic table. Some results of optical measurements are given. In addition, some examples show the use of these coatings for protective glasses, multi-layer filters (cold mirrors, dichroic filters, etc.), as well as their application as protective layers on glasses of poor chemical resistance. Under certain conditions, the procedure also permits the productions of extremely thick layers.
