Experimental demonstration of narrow-band rugate minus filters using rapidly alternating deposition technology

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/27/5/054217

Abstract The design, fabrication and performance of narrow-band rugate minus filters are investigated in this paper. A method of fabricating graded-index coatings by rapidly alternating deposition of low (SiO₂) and high (Al₂O₃) refractive index materials is presented to fabricate a rugate structure. The narrow-band rugate minus filter design and fabrication approaches are discussed in detail. The experimental results, including transmittance spectrum, surface damage test and damage morphology investigated with a scanning electron microscope, demonstrate the high performance of the as-fabricated spatial filter and confirm the feasibility of the fabrication method for narrow-band rugate minus filters.

Keywords: rugate structure minus filter narrow-band laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT)
