    摘要: An optical filter for use in high temperature and rapid changing temperature environments, and method of making the same is provided. The optical filter includes a substrate and a filter layer disposed on the substrate. The filter layer has a porous columnar micro-structure configured to decouple the thermal expansion stress between the substrate and the filter layer when the optical filter is subjected to high temperature. The filter layer may be formed of a material conducive to physical vapor deposition, such as metallic oxide. The filter layer is deposited onto the substrate at an angle.
