The design and manufacture of a Ge/SiO multilayer edge filter matched to air by MgF(2) are presented. The design is based on the equivalent layers theory and numerical optimization of the analytical structure. The filter has an average transmission of 96% in the 3.2-4.9-microm region, and its rejection zone covers the visible and uv regions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
