Abstract
- Abstract: Optical thin films used at oblique incidence exhibit inevitable polarization dependent properties. In reflective projection display systems, Philips prisms with color splitting filters are widely used. Generally, illuminating light at different polarization components passes the color splitting filters twice in such Philips prism. Color splitting filters operate as color separation for s-polarization and as color recombination for p-polarization, and thus performances of the color splitting filters for s- and p-polarization are equally important. In order to reduce stray light, it is necessary to design non-polarizing thin film edge filters for color separation and recombination system in projectors. The novel design method is based on a broad-band Fabry–Perot interference filter in which both sides of transmittance band can be used as initial designs for long-wave-pass filter or short-wave-pass filters, and through suitable refinement to reduce the transmittance ripples, it is possible to achieve zero separation between two polarization components.
