  • Publication number: 20230305204
    Abstract: There is provided an optical filter capable of effectively transmitting ultraviolet light in a wavelength range from 220 nm to 225 nm while suppressing the transmission of ultraviolet light in a wavelength range from 240 nm to 320 nm. An optical filter 1 includes a transparent substrate 2 and a dielectric multilayer film 3 provided on the transparent substrate 2 and containing hafnium oxide. A minimum value of spectral transmittance in a wavelength range from 220 nm to 225 nm is 50% or more with an incident angle of 0 degrees, and a maximum value of spectral transmittance in a wavelength range from 240 nm to 320 nm is 5% or less with an incident angle of 0 degrees.

  • Publication number: 20220381962
    Abstract: Provided is an optical filter capable of reducing the dependency on the angle of light incidence. An optical filter 1 includes a hydrogenated silicon-containing film 4, wherein in a Raman spectrum of the hydrogenated silicon-containing film 4 measured by Raman spectroscopy a ratio (SiH/SiH2) obtained from a ratio between an area of a peak derived from SiH and an area of a peak derived from SiH2 is 0.7 or more.

  • Publication number: 20220003908
    Abstract: Provided are: a band-pass filter for which filter characteristics can be improved; and a manufacturing method therefor. A band-pass filter 11, which allows light of a specific wavelength region to pass, includes: a substrate 12 which has light transmitting properties; a first dielectric multilayer film 13 that is provided on a first main surface S1 of the substrate 12; and a second dielectric multilayer film 14 that is provided on a second main surface S2 which is opposite the first main surface S1. The first dielectric multilayer film 13 contains a hydrogenated silicon layer. The second dielectric multilayer film 14 contains a hydrogenated silicon layer.
