Abstract:
We addressed the subject of stealth technology in the daytime of large target surrounded by green vegetation under wide spectral irradiations:including that in the visible, near-and thermal infrared bands by analyzing the target's radiation behavior.The reflectivity of the newly-developed multi-layered coatings, mainly comprising 29 layers of Te, ZnSe and MgF
2 thin films, was mathematically modeled, theoretically analyzed and numerically simulated.The simulated results show that the reflective spectrum of the novel multi-layered coatings in visible-near infrared bands is similar to that of green vegetation, and that their optical brightness characteristics are almost identical.When it comes to multi-band compatible stealth, the novel multi-layered coating outperforms the conventional coatings and photonic crystal structures.Moreover, the average emissivity in the mid-far infrared atmospheric window (estimated to be 0.232 and 0.195, respectively) is capable of partly suppressing the thermal radiation of the target.
