Summary

The light filters for IR range of spectrum on the basis of ZnAs₂ and Zn₃As₂ monocrystals.

Description

Laboratory samples of the light filters made of ZnAs₂ and Zn₃As₂ for IR range of spectrum with the slope of S~1.6%, S~2.1% respectively, and passing-through at the level of ~60-70% in the spectral region of 1.2-1.5 μm were developed.

• Material

Technical advantages and economic benefits

The light filters on the basis of ZnAs₂ and Zn₃As₂ have sharp absorption edges that significantly exceed the characteristics of silicone- or germanium-based light filters.
