• The purpose of the cleaning solvent is only to dissolve any adhesive
contamination that is holding debris on the surface. The towel needs to absorb
both the excessive solvent and entrap the debris so that it can be removed from
the surface. Surface coatings on dichroics are typically less hard than the
substrate. It is reasonable to expect that any cleaning will degrade the surface at
an atomic level. Consideration should be given as to whether the contamination
in question is more significant to the application than the damage that may
result from cleaning the surface. In many cases, the AR coatings that are
provided to give maximum light transmission amplify the appearance of
contamination on the surface.
