A Brief Guide to Thin-Film Optical Filters
What Are Thin-Film Optical Filters? Thin-film optical filters are optical devices consisting of alternating thin layers of specialized optical coatings deposited onto a substrate (e.g., optical glass). The coating layers alter the refractive index of the substrate, changing the direction of the various wavelengths in incoming light as it passes through one layer to the […]
