<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical thin-film filter in which a group delay deviation of not only transmission property but reflection property is minimized. <P>SOLUTION: A band pass type optical thin-film filter has a cavity layer formed of reflecting mirror layers and a spacer layer in both of which optical thin-films with different refractive indexes are multilayered, and the plurality of cavity layers is formed into many stages via connecting layers. The layer constitution is determined according to a desired transmission property and reflection property based on a denominator polynomial and numerator polynomial showing the transmission property and the denominator polynomial and numerator polynomial showing reflection property in the Hurwitz polynomial of complex frequency s. The zero point of the numerator polynomial showing the reflection property includes the original point of a complex plane and exists only on the left half of the complex plane. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
