A color separation film that reflects visible light to short-wave infrared and transmits wide-spectrum infrared and a manufacturing method thereof

The present invention relates to a dichroic filter that reflects visible light to shortwave infrared and transmits a broad spectrum of infrared light, and its manufacturing method. The dichroic filter uses a flat germanium substrate and a dichroic film system similar to a longwavepass filter. Germanium, zinc sulfide, and fluoride are used as the high and low refractive index materials for different reflective film stacks. A dichroic film is designed on the front surface of the substrate, combining different reflective film stacks to achieve broadband high reflectivity. An optimized matching layer reduces transmission passband ripple. A broad spectrum antireflection film is designed on the back surface of the substrate to achieve high transmittance in the transmission channel while minimizing residual reflection and eliminating stray light. During the preparation process, the dichroic filter utilizes appropriate deposition rates, substrate temperatures, and ion-assisted deposition of localized film layers to reduce thin film absorption and improve the environmental reliability of the filter. Measured reflectivity and transmittance curves show that the filter has high reflectivity in the 0.4-1.7 μm band and high transmission in the 2.1-2.4 μm shortwave infrared band and the 3.5-14 μm mid- and longwave infrared bands. It is suitable for spectral separation in visible-to-infrared multi-channel remote sensing systems.
