Abstract
Classical narrow-band interference dielectric filters with
all-dielectric reflectors have quarter-wave stacks separated by a
half-wave thickness (or a multiple-) spacer layer. These
filters are essentially Fabry–Perot filters; hence the theory
developed for those filters applies in full. The theory of
narrow-band interference dielectric filters with unconventional spacer
layers is presented. This spacer layer consists of two different
materials. The optical features of these filters are compared with
the features of Fabry–Perot filters. The influence of the errors
of the layers on spectral characteristics is analyzed. The theory
presented can be applied to any spectral range as well as to any
thin-film material, including absorbing and nonlinear
materials.
