Tunable mid-wave infrared Fabry-Perot bandpass filters using phase-change GeSbTe (2002.05906v1)

Published 14 Feb 2020 in physics.optics, cond-mat.mtrl-sci, and physics.app-ph

Abstract: We demonstrate spectrally-tunable Fabry-Perot bandpass filters operating across the MWIR by utilizing the phase-change material GeSbTe (GST) as a tunable cavity medium between two (Ge:Si) distributed Bragg reflectors. The induced refractive index modulation of GST increases the cavity's optical path length, red-shifting the passband. Our filters have spectral-tunability of ~300 nm, transmission efficiencies of 60-75% and narrowband FWHMs of 50-65 nm (Q-factor ~70-90). We further show multispectral thermal imaging and gas sensing. By matching the filter's initial passband to a CO${2}$ vibrational-absorption mode (~4.25 $\mu$m), tunable atmospheric CO${2}$ sensing and dynamic plume visualization of added CO$_{2}$ is realized.
