Problems solved by technology

After this treatment, the reflectivity of the Ag film decreases greatly, so that the functions required by the lens cannot be fully exerted, resulting in a decrease in the performance of the interference filter
In addition, the decrease in reflectivity of the Ag film over time is also large.

Abstract

The invention provides an interference filter, an optical module, and an analysis device. The interference filter includes two reflective films that are opposed to each other with a gap interposed therebetween and substrates that support the corresponding reflective films. The reflective films each include a pure silver film and a silver alloy film. The pure silver film and the silver alloy film are formed on the corresponding substrate sequentially from the substrate. The silver alloy film is one of an Ag-Sm-Cu alloy film containing silver (Ag), samarium (Sm), and copper (Cu) and an Ag-Bi-Nd alloy film containing silver (Ag), bismuth (Bi), and neodymium (Nd).

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to an interference filter, an optical module having the interference filter, and an analysis device having the optical module. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, there has been known an interference filter in which a mirror as a reflective film is arranged opposite to each other on the surfaces of a pair of substrates facing each other. Such an interference filter includes a pair of substrates kept parallel to each other, and a pair of mirrors (reflection films) formed on the pair of substrates so as to face each other and have a gap at a fixed interval. [0003] In such an interference filter, by reflecting light between a pair of lenses and transmitting only light of a specific wavelength, interference is used to cancel light of other wavelengths, so that only light of a specific wavelength can be transmitted through incident light. [0004] Use a dielectric film or a metal film as the lens. The required functions of the len...
