Abstract
AbstractOptical interference filters (OIFs) are vital components for a wide range of optical and photonic systems. They are pivotal in controlling spectral transmission and reflection upon demand. OIFs rely on optical interference of the incident wave at multilayers, which are fabricated with nanometer precision. Here, we demonstrate that these requirements can be fulfilled by inkjet printing. This versatile technology offers a high degree of freedom in manufacturing, as well as cost-affordable and rapid-prototyping features from the micron to the meter scale. In this work, via rational ink design and formulation, OIFs were fully inkjet printed in ambient conditions. Longpass, shortpass, bandpass, and dichroic OIFs were fabricated, and precise control of the spectral response in OIFs was realized. Subsequently, customized lateral patterning of OIFs by inkjet printing was achieved. Furthermore, upscaling of the printed OIFs to A4 size (29.7 × 21.0 cm²) was demonstrated.
