Abstract
Durable, uniform, and reproducible amorphous silicon and amorphous sil icon nitride thin films deposited by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor de position that are appropriate for the design and fabrication of optica l interference filters in the near-infrared region are found. Optical and physicalk properties of single-layer films are discussed. The dura bility and performance of Fabry-Perot interference filters and a 15-la yer long-pass edge filter in the near-infrared region designed and fab ricated with these two thin-film materials are also reported.
