A função e o princípio dos filtros de banda estreita

1.O que é um filtro de banda estreita?

Um filtro é um dispositivo óptico usado para selecionar a banda de radiação desejada. A narrowband filter is a type of bandpass filter that allows light within a specific wavelength range to be transmitted at high brightness, while light within other wavelength ranges is absorbed or reflected, achieving filtering effects.

The passband of narrowband filters is relatively narrow, generally below 5% of the central wavelength value, and can be widely used in various fields, such as astronomy, biomedical, environmental monitoring, communication, etc.

2.The function of narrowband filters

The function of the narrowband filter is to provide wavelength selectivity for the optical system, mainly in the following aspects:

(1)Selective filtering of light

Narrowband filters can selectively filter out light in certain wavelength ranges and retain light in specific wavelength ranges. This is important for applications that require distinguishing between light sources of different wavelengths or that require light sources of specific wavelengths for experiments or observations.

(2)Reduce light noise

Narrowband filters can block light in unnecessary wavelength ranges, reduce stray light from light sources or background light interference, and improve image contrast and clarity.

(3)Spectral analysis

Narrowband filters can be used for spectral analysis. The combination of multiple narrowband filters can be used to select light of specific wavelengths and perform precise spectral analysis.

(4)Light intensity control

Narrowband filters can also be used to adjust the light intensity of a light source, controlling light intensity by selectively transmitting or blocking light of specific wavelengths.

3.The principle of narrowband filter

Narrowband filters use the interference phenomenon of light to selectively transmit or reflect light in a specific wavelength range. Its principle is based on the interference and absorption characteristics of light.

By adjusting the phase difference in the stacking structure of thin film layers, only light in the target wavelength range is selectively transmitted, and light of other wavelengths is blocked or reflected.

Specifically, narrowband filters are usually stacked by multiple layers of films, and the refractive index and thickness of each layer of film are optimized according to design requirements.

By controlling the thickness and refractive index between thin film layers, the phase difference of light can be adjusted to achieve interference effects in a specific wavelength range.

When incident light passes through a narrow-band filter, most of the light will be reflected or absorbed, and only light in a specific wavelength range will be transmitted.

This is because in the thin film layer stacking structure of the filter, light of a specific wavelength will produce a phase difference, and the interference phenomenon will cause the light of a specific wavelength to be enhanced, while the light of other wavelengths will undergo phase cancellation and be reflected or absorbed.
