  • Publication number: 20240319421
    Abstract: A dual pass band filter element includes: a substrate, and a bandpass filtering structure and an anti-reflection structure formed on two opposite surfaces of the substrate. The bandpass filtering structure includes a plurality of first material layers and a plurality of second material layers with a refractive index higher than the respective first material layers, wherein the first and second material layers are stacked alternately along the normal of the substrate; the dual pass band filter element has a first pass band and a second pass band that does not overlap with the first pass band in a band of 400 nm to 1800 nm. In this way, two different bands of light are allowed to pass through the dual pass band filter element, thereby expanding the application field of the dual pass band filter element.
