Properties of All-Dielectric Interference Filters II Filters in Parallel Beams of Light Incident Obliquely and in Convergent Beams

Abstract

The basic formulas derived in Part I are used to determine the wavelength of the transmission band when all-dielectric interference filters are used in parallel beams incident obliquely. Experimental results agree well with the theoretical predictions provided that the dispersion of the layers is taken into account.The transmission characteristics of filters in convergent beams are evaluated on the basis of the expressions for oblique incidence.
