Abstract (en)
[origin: WO8602775A1] A heat mirror film (12) for placement on a lamp envelope (10) in the form of an etalon or Fan-Bachner heat mirror. At least one of the layers of dielectric material of the heat mirror (12) is fabricated from a material having a non-constant index of refraction which index decreases significantly as infrared radiation frequencies are approached, thus increasing reflection at infrared frequencies as compared to a dielectric having a constant index of refraction. Such dielectrics may include semiconductors, such as indium tin oxide and heavily doped lanthanum hexaboride.
[origin: WO8602775A1] Heat mirror comprises at least one layer of highly conductive material thin enough to transmit visible light and thick enough to reflect IR and at least one dielectric layer having an index of refraction which increases in the IR range so that the dielectric causes phase matching in the visible range and mismatching in the IR range. The mirror is pref. an etalon of a dielectric layer sandwiched between layers of highly conductive material. -
