Research
Optical thin film technology research includes theory and experiment in various fields and covers from film growing mechanism, development of thin film material, precision and real-time monitoring of the film thickness, uniform and large area film growth, design of thin film filter, development of thin film component, and the applications of thin film in opto-electronics. Optical thin films can be applied to optical communication, flat-panel display, lighting, solar energy, color science, optical storage, laser, bio-medicine, photography, cellular phone, eye-glasses, automobile, optical inspection and various optical engineering applications. Therefore, the optical thin film research requires the knowledge and cooperation with physics, material, mechanical, applied mathematics and opto-electronics inspection. Taiwan did not have thin film coating industry earlier in Taiwan; therefore, the design, manufacture and assembly of the coater facility and the thin film measurement equipment is essential key to develop thin film technology. Since optical thin film technology is an important keystone to improve high tech industries, DOP not only devotes in high quality optical thin film academic research but also helping the industry upgrade in Taiwan high tech industries.
