Abstract
Optical filters often exhibit polarization dependence properties at oblique incidence. We describe the designing results of nonpolarizing narrow band-pass filters with wide non-transmission frequency range using common coating materials. The designing analytical expression is derived from the theory of optical thin film characteristic matrix and simplex method is used in the optimization processes. Two kinds of non-polarizing film structure are shown at incident angles of 45° with low polarization sensitivity (PS), high transmittance (>80%) at central wavelength (550 nm), and low transmittance in the side band region (450–900 nm), which may have potential applications in nonpolarizing optical system or beam splitting system.
