| NARROW-BAND HOLOGRAPHIC FILTERS are intended for
suppression of powerful beams in research and in engineering, in particular, in laser
spectroscopy, and also for protection from blinding and damaging by laser radiation various photo
receiver devices and operator's eyes.
Unlike conventional interference filters, which are made by vacuum evaporation techniques, holographic filters are fabricated by recording interference patterns formed between two mutually coherent laser beams. Since all layers are recorded simultaneously within a thick stack, the optical density of the notch filter is high and its spectral bandwidth can be extremely narrow. Also, since the layering profile is sinusoidal instead of square wave, holographic notch filters are free from extraneous reflection bands and provide significantly higher laser damage thresholds.
