Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of optical films, and in particular relates to an infrared band pixel-level dual-channel filter and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Infrared imaging technology has been widely used in civil and military fields such as online power detection, environmental monitoring, missile warning, and infrared reconnaissance. In order to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of infrared detectors, specific filters are usually inserted into the optical system to suppress stray light outside the working band to improve the target recognition ability of infrared detectors. In order to further improve the recognition ability of the detector and simplify the structure of the camera optical system, dual-channel or more-channel spectral filters are often required. Integrating them on the surface of the detector chip can simultaneously output target information of multiple spectral channels, which is more conducive to target recognition.

[0003] There are two types of dual-channel spectral filters. One is that the spectral channels are linearly arranged in one dimension. When integrated in the detector, it is only suitable for push-scan imaging and has difficulty capturing fast-moving targets. The other is a pixel-level dual-channel filter. Its spectral channels are a mosaic array structure in two dimensions. The spectral channel size is at the pixel level and can correspond one-to-one with the pixels on the detector chip. When integrated on the surface of the detector chip, it can achieve snapshot spectral imaging and has the ability to capture dynamic targets.

[0004] Bandpass filters with good spectral characteristics working in the infrared band, especially the mid-wave infrared band, usually have a physical thickness of more than 10μm, while the pixel size of infrared band detector chips is generally 20μm or even smaller. In the process of preparing the mid-wave infrared band pixel-level dual-channel filter, when the second pixel-level spectral channel is prepared on the basis of the first pixel-level spectral channel, the thin film deposition shadow shielding effect caused by the thicker physical thickness of the first spectral channel makes it impossible to deposit optical thin films in the intersection area of ​​the two spectral channels, resulting in a wide transition zone between the infrared band pixel-level dual channels and serious spectral crosstalk. Therefore, it is urgent to study a preparation method for infrared band pixel-level dual-channel filters to reduce the transition zone between the pixel-level dual channels, reduce spectral crosstalk and improve imaging quality.
