5. COURSE PREAMBLE

Thin film has become an essential aspect of human life, so that hardly can we find any field of activity where they are not present. The first use of thin films for optical purposes can be dated to exactly 1912.After that, thin film coatings use has extended to many other applications in the optics industry like e.g. anti-reflective coatings, scratch-resistant coatings, UV- and IR-reflective coatings, etc. In parallel, many other technological fields began to benefit from this technology: decorative coatings, tribologic coatings, biomedical coatings, self-cleaning coatings, etc.
