ABSTRACT:
A multilayer optical component is provided in thin-film technology. The component comprises a monocrystalline substrate 1, for example a garnet substrate, which supports a stack 2 of monocrystalline layers 11-16, for example garnet layers, provided epitaxially on the substrate. The layers have alternately a high and a low refractive index and as regards thickness and refractive index are optimized to minimally or maximally reflect electromagnetic radiation of a given wavelength in the infrared or optical range of the spectrum. Said optical component is suitable in particular for use in high-power lasers.
