    Abstract

    Thin film interference filter consists of alternating first and second layers, the first layers being silica, the second layers being a mixture of tantala and niobia. The filter may be used on a high temperature lamp in an inert atmosphere if the niobia in the mixture is less than 40% by weight. For higher percentages a partial pressure of oxygen has been found to prevent blackening of the layers.
