Abstract

An optical material having an index of refraction related to wavelength is placed between the reflectors of a Fabry-Perot cavity employed as an interference filter. The cavity is skewed with respect to the optical path of incident radiation such that the material diverts the optical paths of different spectral lines and the filter response more nearly matches the line spectrum.
