Exploiting a material with a high index of refraction and an extremely low extinction coefficient in the visible range allows the quality factor of the filter to be improved. Three groups of GaP/SiO2 pairs are used to form a Distributed Brag reflector in a symmetrical Fabry-Pérot cavity. A band-pass filter which is composed of ZnS/SiO2 pairs is also introduced to further promote the purity of the transmissive spectrum. The investigation manifests that a series of tuned spectrum with an ultra-narrow full width at half of the maximum in the full visible range can be obtained by adjusting the thickness of the SiO2 interlayer. The full width at half of the maximum of the transmissive spectrum can reach 2.35 nm. Simultaneously, the transmissive efficiency in the full visible range can keep as high as 0.75. Our research provides a feasible and cost-effective way for realizing filters with ultra-narrowed linewidth. Citation: Xu, K.; Meng, Y.; Chen, S.; Li, Y.; Wu, Z.; Jin, S.

Introduction Color filter is a kind of optical device which plays a significant role in many industrial Academic Editor: Patrice Salzenstein fields, such as spectroscopy instruments, imaging sensors, and displays [1–4]. The precision and sensibility of many optical systems used in those fields are mainly decided by such Received: 17 January 2021 an optical device. Generally, there are two types of optical filters: reflective filter and Accepted: 24 February 2021 transmissive filter [5]. Usually, the reflective filter is realized by a perfect absorber, of which Published: 27 February 2021 the filtered wavelengths are fully absorbed. As a result, its function is embodied in the reflective characteristic. On the contrary, the filtering function of a transmissive filter is Publisher’s Note: MDPI stays neutral obtained by permitting the required wavelengths to pass through.

In addition, the efficiency of the filter is also an important characteristic that should be considered.

Mathur JNTUH College of Engineering, Hyderabad ABSTRACT There are many operating parameters describing optical filter properties such as the amount absorbed electromagnetic radiation which depends on the operating signal wavelength; the amount of the absorbing material in the radiation path (filter thickness); and the absorption coefficient of the material at that wavelength. This paper has presented fused silica (SiO2) glass, polystyrene (PS) plastic and arsenide trisulfide (AS2 S3) glass band pass optical filters for visible and near infrared spectrum regions over wide range of the affecting parameters. Filter transmittance, filter optical density, attenuation level or blocking level, filter correlation factor, and transmission modulation depth are the major interesting design parameters under room temperature and high temperature effects. 1. INTRODUCTION Optical filters are devices which selectively transmit light of certain properties while blocking (absorbing) the reminder [1]. In general they’re sensitive to light of particular wavelengths (and in consequence color) or range of wavelengths. This property makes optical filters often used in many industrial applications. In many branches of industry source emitting intense non-visible radiation (for example white hot metal or glass) has to be monitored. Optical filters are often used for such applications. In such cases infrared (IR) or heat absorbing filters are used in order to block mid infrared wavelengths (thermal radiation) but allow visible light to be transmitted.

  • Gaining High Resolution Measurements of Optical Filters in the NIR Range with the LAMBDA 1050 UV/Vis/NIR
    APPLICATION NOTE UV/Vis/NIR Spectroscopy Authors: Christopher Lynch PerkinElmer, Inc. Shelton, CT Gaining High Resolution Measurements of Optical The most common measurement for Filters in the NIR Range optical filter quality testing is done in transmission mode with the results With the LAMBDA 1050 typically displayed in %T. The measurement may be performed at any UV/Vis/NIR angle of incidence required by the filter design. The angle of incidence light used can range from normal to greater than 60 ° with 45 ° being one of the most common requirements. When measurements are to be performed at angles other than normal, typically considered to be between 5 °- 8 °, polarization affects need to be considered. All modern high performance spectrophotometers use reflective gratings to disperse the source energy into specific wavelengths. This process will create strongly polarized light which will be used for sample analysis. For this reason, to achieve the truest results a depolarizer should be used at angles higher than 8 ° to measure a sample under random polarization conditions. If specific angles of polarization are required by the analysis, a polarizer should be added to allow the specific angle of polarization to be measured. This could range from S to P polarization or any angle between. Optical filter types and design requirements vary widely from Optical filters have many functions, including color correction, simple neutral density filters to the most complex multi layer used to improve color balance in many optical systems, to bandpass designs. All have specific design requirements and all neutral density filters that produce specific reduction in the require spectroscopic analysis to validate designs and for quality level of transmitted light.
