Abstract:
The present invention relates to an optical bandpass filter system that has at least one combination of a bandpass filter that provides a first nanostructured metallic layer (4) and a bandstop filter comprising a second nanostructured metallic layer (7), which are arranged one behind the other, and the layer thicknesses of which are different. The bandstop filter is tuned to the bandpass filter in such a way that it blocks a contiguous wavelength range that partially overlaps a pass-band width of the bandpass filter. With the suggested optical filter system it is possible to create various filter characteristics side by side in a small space with a small pass-band width.

An absorptive neutral density optical filter comprising one or more graphene layers disposed on an optical substrate. The optical substrate can be a solid material (e.g. glasses or crystals such as silicon carbide, sapphire, germanium, or potassium bromide), or a polymer, or even a wire mesh. The graphene can be grown on the optical substrate or can be growth on a growth substrate and then transferred to the optical substrate.

An optical unit is provided with a filter member (1) that disperses transmitted light and a photodetector (2) that has a plurality of light receiving elements. The filter member (1) is provided with a light transmissive substrate, a plurality of protrusions comprising a first metallic material and formed on one surface of the substrate, and a metal film comprising a second metallic material having a refractive index higher than that of the first metallic material and formed so as to cover the plurality of protrusions as well as the one surface of the substrate. The plurality of protrusions is disposed such that the metal film located between adjacent protrusions can be a diffraction grating and the protrusions can be waveguides. At least one of the grating cycle of the diffraction grating, the height of the protrusions, or the thickness of the metal film is set to a value different each portion such that a wavelength of light transmitted through the filter member changes each portion. The photodetector (2) is disposed such that each of the light receiving elements (21) receives the light transmitted through the filter member (1).

Abstract:
This invention relates to the field of thermophotovoltaic (TPV) direct energy conversion. In particular, TPV systems use filters to minimize parasitic absorption of below bandgap energy. This invention constitutes a novel combination of front surface filters to increase TPV conversion efficiency by reflecting useless below bandgap energy while transmitting a very high percentage of the useful above bandgap energy. In particular, a frequency selective surface is used in combination with an interference filter. The frequency selective surface provides high transmission of above bandgap energy and high reflection of long wavelength below bandgap energy. The interference filter maintains high transmission of above bandgap energy and provides high reflection of short wavelength below bandgap energy and a sharp transition from high transmission to high reflection.

A filter having a high transmittance. The filter includes a substrate having a first surface and a second surface, and a periodic or random array of through-holes formed so as to pass through the first surface and the second surface. The through-hole has a size of subwavelength at a range of infrared and terahertz wave. Here, transmission resonance characteristic of incident light on the first surface is controlled by a shape of the through-hole.
