Reflection filter with high reflectivity and narrow bandwidth

Appl Opt. 1997 Feb 1;36(4):827-30. doi: 10.1364/ao.36.000827.

Abstract

A kind of reflection filter with a narrow bandwidth and high reflectivity is designed as being composed of an all-dielectric Fabry-Perot filter, a high-reflectivity Ag film, and especially an ultrathin metallic film, n approximately = k. Exemplary structures and some formulas concerning spectral-reflection performances, such as general reflectivity, maximum reflectivity, and the halfwidth of the reflection band, are given. Experiments show the validity of this design.
