ABSTRACTOptical interference filters have been synthesized by sol-gel. The selected filter is a multilayer of alternating TiO2 and SiO2 films. In transmission, the filter edge depends on the angle of incident light, which can be tailored through control of thickness and refractive index of the individual films. Theoretical modeling of the filter with film thicknesses obtained by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry is in good agreement with the experimental optical response.
