This work focusses on the approach of optical thin-layer filters with distributed cavity mode. Fabry-Pérot filters own a single cavity layer in the centre of the stack. In contrast, with chirped filter approach the cavity thickness is distributed over several layers. Model calculation results are applied to characterise the properties of the spectrum and the electric field of chirped filters. The aim of distributing the cavity within the filter stack is to distribute the electric field in the resonance case (transmission ...
