ABSTRACT:
An arrangement for regulating the vapor deposited layer build-up in the production of deposited optically active thin layers on substrates in a vacuum. The optical characteristics of the deposited layer are measured continuously and the measurements are converted into proportional electrical signals. These signals are differentiated twice, with the second derivative serving to provide the zero-axis crossings of the signals. The vapor deposition process is interrupted dependent on the zero-axis crossings.
