Abstract
This article discusses the effect of applying diamond coatings on the response characteristics of certain infrared (IR) transmitting materials. The predicted response characteristics are compared with experimental data generated using controlled liquid jet impacts produced by the multiple impact jet apparatus. The predicted response of a selection of IR transmitting materials compare well with the experimental results. The results presented in this article illustrate the importance of the first stages of liquid impact on the integrity of the surface coating applied to zinc sulfide and germanium substrates.
