A method for producing optical functional coatings comprising niobium, tantalum, titanium or aluminum by supplying a precursor gas of low vapor pressure in a CVD coating system. A precursor selected from the group consisting of Nb, Ta, Ti, and Al compounds having a vapor pressure is maintained within a first supply container at a first temperature T1 and a first pressure p1. Precursor vapor of the precursor is supplied from the first supply container to an intermediate storage device through a first gas line which fluidly communicates the first supply container and the intermediate storage device. A carrier gas or reaction gas is supplied to the first gas line such that a mixture of the precursor with the carrier gas or the reaction gas is provided. The mixture is maintained in the intermediate storage device at a constant second pressure p2 lower than the first pressure p1 and at a second temperature T2 lower than the first temperature T1, and the mixture is supplied from the intermediate storage device through a second gas line.

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for producing optical functional coatings comprising niobium, tantalum, titanium or aluminum by supplying a precursor gas of low vapor pressure in a CVD coating system, comprising the steps of: maintaining a precursor selected from the group consisting of Nb, Ta, Ti, and Al compounds having a vapor pressure within a first supply container at a first temperature T1 and a first pressure p1; supplying precursor vapor of the precursor from the first supply container to an intermediate storage device through a first gas line which fluidly communicates the first supply container and the intermediate storage device; supplying a carrier gas or reaction gas to the first gas line such that a mixture of the precursor with the carrier gas or the reaction gas is provided: maintaining the mixture in the intermediate storage device at a constant second pressure p2 lower than the first pressure p1 and at a second temperature T2 lower than the first temperature T1; and supplying the mixture from the intermediate storage device through a second gas line. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said second maintaining step further comprises maintaining the second temperature T2 in the intermediate storage device such that the saturation vapor pressure of the precursor vapor is higher than its partial pressure in the intermediate storage device. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein said first maintaining step further comprises maintaining the first pressure p1 of the first precursor in the supply container at its saturation vapor pressure, such that the first precursor is in equilibrium between its liquid or solid phase and its vapor phase. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein said first maintaining step further comprises maintaining the first temperature T1 in the supply container such that the first pressure p1 is between 1.5 and 10 times higher than the second pressure p2. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein said first maintaining step further comprises maintaining the first temperature T1 in the supply container such that the first pressure p1 is approximately twice as high as the second pressure p2. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein said first supplying step further comprises adjusting the vapor mass flow of the precursor vapor from the supply container to the intermediate storage device with a first metering device disposed between the supply container and the intermediate storage device. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the first metering device is a mass flow controller. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein said second supplying step further comprises supplying precursor vapor to a gas outlet via a second metering device. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the second metering device is a flow control valve. 10. The method of claim 8, wherein the gas outlet is connected to at least one of a vacuum pump and a cold trap. 11. The method of claim 8, wherein said second maintaining step further comprises maintaining the constant second pressure p2 in the intermediate storage device by the second metering device. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the first precursor is an Nb compound selected from the group consisting of NbCl5 and Nb ethoxide. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the first precursor is a Ta compound selected from the group consisting of TaCl5 and Ta ethoxide. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein the first precursor is AlCl3. 15. The method of claim 1, wherein the first precursor is titanium isopropylate. 16. The method of claim 1, wherein the carrier gas is one of an inert gas, a further precursor, and a mixture of an inert gas with a further precursor. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein the carrier gas is selected from the group consisting of oxygen and a gas containing oxygen. 18. The method of claim 1, wherein in said second supplying step, the precursor vapor and the carrier gas or reaction gas are mixed within the first gas line upstream of the intermediate storage device.
