RESUMO
By exploiting the interferometric antireflection action of a probe sample, consisting of a diamond-like carbon (DLC) film grown on Si, combined with a specific illumination spectrum, we designed and constructed an optical device for the visual remote sensing of radiation (either plasma or atomic oxygen) and for the visual inspection of adsorbed organic contamination as thin as a few molecular layers. The capabilities of this new visual interferometric multi-indicator (VIMI) enable the bare-eye color detection of thickness changes on the order of a few nanometers without the intervention of any instrumental or computer interface.
