Optical article

Abstract

An optical article and method of making the same are provided. The optical article has optical multi-aperture operation. The optical article has one or more electrically conductive and selectively passivated patterns.

1 . An article comprising one or more electrically conductive and selectively passivated patterns, each pattern is joined to and between layers of material having a capability of multiple wavelength band radiation transmission.  
   
   
       2 . The article of  claim 1 , wherein a sheet resistiance of each electrically conductive and selectively passivated pattern is 10 ohms/square or less.  
   
   
       3 . The article of  claim 1 , wherein the article has at least 30% transmission of radiation in at least 1 wavelength band.  
   
   
       4 . The article of  claim 1 , wherein the article transmits radiation in the gamma rays, x-rays visible, U.V., IR and mm to one meter wavelength ranges.  
   
   
       5 . An article comprising one or more electrically conductive and selectively passivated patterns, each pattern includes one or more metal or metal alloy layers, each pattern is joined to and is between layers of material which transmit radiation of multiple bands, and the patterns are joined to one of the layers of material which transmits radiation of multiple bands by a bonding layer.  
   
   
       6 . The article of  claim 5 , wherein an electrical resistivity of the metal or metal alloy ranges from 50 micro-ohm-cm or less.  
   
   
       7 . A method comprising: 
 a) providing a first layer of material having a capability of multiple wavelength band radiation transmission;    b) depositing an electrically conductive and selectively passivated pattern on the first layer of material having the capability of multiple wavelength band radiation transmission;    c) depositing a second layer of material having a capability of multiple wavelength band radiation transmission on the electrically conductive and selectively passivated pattern opposite the first layer to form an article having optical multi-aperture operation.    
   
   
       8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the electrically conductive and selectively passivated pattern comprises one or more metal or metal alloy layers.  
   
   
       9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the one or more metal or metal alloy layers is deposited on the pattern by CVD, PVD, CCVD, CACCVD, or electrolytic deposition.
