Abstract
Today, the demand on flat optical components with specification on final surface flatness that must be smaller than ?/20 or ?/30 peak to valley, for various applications including linear accelerators [1,2], space applications [3]…, needs an accurate knowledge on the mechanical stress induced in thin films. In order to design correctly stacks of thin films on both side of a substrate and achieve perfect stress compensation, it is thus obvious that the first step is to precisely characterize the stress in single layers.
