| 1. An optical or optoelectronic article comprising:
an optical glass substrate;
a polymeric substrate proximate the optical glass substrate and covering a first portion of the optical glass substrate; and
an amorphous diamond-like glass film deposited on at least a second portion of the glass substrate and on all of the polymeric
substrate, wherein the amorphous diamond-like glass film covers both the second portion of the glass substrate and all of
the polymeric substrate, and wherein-the amorphous diamond-like glass film includes a substantial quantity of silicon and
oxygen, yet still retains diamond-like properties.
