Ternary oxides ‐ often called “mixtures” within the thin film community ‐ have proven their advantages in conventional evaporation processes within the last decade. Today they are established medium and high index materials in the latest designs for optical devices. Applications include products like digital data projectors and CD/DVD‐drives. Three successful ternary oxides are described in this article.
