A composite material having an aluminum substrate, an intermediate layer located on one side of the substrate, and an optically active multilayer system applied to the intermediate layer. The multilayer system includes three layers. The two upper layers are dielectric and/or oxide layers and the bottom layer is a metallic layer applied to the intermediate layer. In order to controllably and selectively set the absorptivity and reflectivity in various wavelength regions, the intention also being to ensure good processability, in particular deformability, a high thermal conductivity and high long-term thermal and chemical stability of the material, the top layer is a dielectric layer, preferably an oxide, fluoride or nitride layer of chemical composition MeO z , MeF r , MeN s , with a refractive index n<1.8. The middle layer is a chromium oxide layer of chemical composition CrO x . The bottom layer of gold, silver, copper, chromium, aluminum and/or molybdenum. The indices x, z, r and s indicate a stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric ratio in the oxides, fluorides or nitrides. |
