Title: Solid colloidal optical wavelength filter

Patent Application ·
OSTI ID:5936692

The present invention relates generally to techniques and methods to filter optical wavelengths for spectroscopy, protection from intense radiation, monochromatizing, and analyzing optical radiation, and more particularly to a solid colloidal rejection filter and a method for constructing a solid colloidal rejection filter. A solid colloidal optical wavelength filter includes a suspension of spherical particles dispersed in a coagulable medium such as a setting plastic. The filter is formed by suspending spherical particles in a coagulable medium; agitating the particles and coagulable medium to produce an emulsion of particles suspended in the coagulable medium; and allowing the coagulable medium and suspended emulsion of particles to cool. 3 figs.
