Titolo Development of linear variable filter and black coatings by PARMS technology for FLORIS HR focal plane array of FLEX mission

Abstract

Beside homogeneous filter coatings a coating can also be applied with a linear gradient. Linear gradient or linear variable filters show a gradient of a band edge or central wavelength depending on the filter type in spectral direction and they are homogeneous in spatial direction. In this paper, we present a linear variable narrow band pass filter with full width half maximum of about 8 nm and a transmittance of more than 98% in the wavelength range of 670 nm to 780 nm. The target for the gradient is 3.3. nm/mm. Due to the need of transmittance filter and AR coating are manufactured by means of Plasma Enhanced Magnetron Sputtering (PARMS). Additionally, the linear variable filter for FLEX mission requires a black mask to separate between HR1 and HR2 channel. This mask is also applied by OBJ by means of the PARMS process and a Ti based layer stack. Here, a reflectance of < 1.5% in the range of 400 nm to 800 nm can be demonstrated. The definition of black mask was done by means of photolithography.
