Abstract
Rugate filters are optical thin film interference structures with sinusoidal refractive index profiles. Two-wavelength reflection filters have been fabricated by codeposition of SiO2 and TiO2. Composition modulation was monitored and controlled using quartz crystal rate controllers. The resulting filters exhibited two well-defined stopbands. Microscopic examination revealed that the structure is glasslike without pronounced thin film microstructure.
