Novel narrow filters for imaging in the 50–150 nm VUV range
Tóm tắt
GOLD (Grupo de Óptica de Láminas Delgadas) is devoted to the development of novel coatings with challenging performance in the far and the extreme ultraviolet (FUV-EUV, 50–200 nm). One of the main goals of this research is to provide the communities of astronomy, solar physics and atmospheric physics with coatings with high reflectance or transmittance at a target wavelength or band, and high rejection of the out-of-band at this complicated spectral range. Above the transparency cutoff of MgF2 (115 nm), transmittance filters based on Al/MgF2 multilayers have been developed peaked at wavelengths as short as 124 nm, with a peak transmittance of 27% and a FWHM of 12 nm for a non-aged coating. Below 115 nm, a research on reflectance filters has recently started with very promising results on filters peaked at the 83.4 nm OII spectral line. Fresh filters with 27% peak reflectance at normal incidence and a FWHM of 14 nm have been obtained. Furthermore, the peak reflectance wavelength of these filters can be tuned by rotation. A filter peaked at 83 nm at normal incidence will shift to ∼73 nm at 30 deg from the normal and to ∼58 nm at 45 deg. These novel reflective filters based on Al, Yb and SiO must still demonstrate stability over time.
