Short Wave Pass Optical Filters with Multilayer Dielectric Coatings
Absorption and particularly wavelength selective absorption is an important factor in the function of the filters. The two most commonly used absorbers are thin metallic films which are particularly insensitive to wavelength for absorption and colored glasses which absorb wavelengths varied by as much as several orders of magnitudes in only tens of nanometers. Interference filters are multilayer dielectric thin film devices. Metallic films, colored glasses and thin dielectric films are used in Fused Silica Optics filters.
Bandpass filter plate are divided into short-pass and long-pass filters according to whether they transmit below or above the transition wavelength. The transition wavelength or cut-on/off wavelength is the wavelength at which the transmission is 50% of its peak value.
