Abstract

Optical Band-pass Filter(BPF) for the selected wavelength of 4300 nm was designed and fabricated on Si wager by alternately depositing Ge and $SiO_2$ thin layers by an electron beam evaporation technique. The fabricated BPF showed the optical transmittance characteristics of 58.2% with FWHM(Full Width at Half Maximum) of 204 nm at 4300 nm, but showed the transmittance less than 5% due to the reflectance over all the wavelength ranges except 4300 nm band. The $CO_2$ sensitivity of BPF was investigated with the transmittance as a function of $CO_2$ gas concentration using a sensing cell attached to FT-IR instrument. The transmittance of BPF was almost linearly decreased with increasing of $CO_2$ concentration in the range of from 500 to 5000 ppm. The sensing structure using double BPFs showed higher slop of transmittance vs $CO_2$ concentration, and thus higher gas sensitivity than that using a single BPF, even though the former had relatively lower transmittance.

본 연구에서는 $CO_2$ 흡수단이 있는 4.3${\mu}m$ 파장대역의 광학 필터를 전자빔 증발 장치를 이용하여 Ge와 $SiO_2$ 박막을 다층으로 설계, 제작하였다. 제작된 Ge/$SiO_2$ 다층박막 필터는 기준파장에 대하여 반가폭(FWHM) 204nm, 투과율 58.2%, 금지대역에 대하여 5% 이하의 차단특성을 나타내는 협대역 투과필터 (narrow band-pass filter: BPF)특성을 나타내었다. 광학적 대역투과필터를 사용하여, FT-IR내에 감지실을 설치하여 단식 필터(KBr+BPF)와 복식필터(BPF+BPF)의 $CO_2$ 농도별 감도특성을 비교측정 하였다. 측정시 $CO_2$의 농도는 500ppm을 단위로 500∼5000ppm의 범위까지 관찰하였는데, 복식 필터는 단식 필터에 비해 투과율이 낮았지만, 우수한 감도 특성을 보였다.
