카메라 모듈에서 사용되어지는 적외선 차단 필터는 적외선 영역을 차단시킴으로써 보다 선명한 영상을 획득할 수 있는 매우 중요한 부품으로 각광을 받고 있다. 가시광선과 적외선 영역에서 주로 사용되어지는 광학 박막 물질로는 고 굴절률을 가지는 $TiO_2$와 저 굴절률을 가지는 $SiO_2$가 일반적으로 쓰인다. 본 실험에서는 카메라 모듈용으로 사용되어지는 적외선 차단 필터를 설계하고 이온빔 증착 장비를 이용하여 코팅 공정을 한 후에 각각의 특성들을 평가하였다. Macleod 프로그램을 사용하여 640nm 및 650nm 차단 필터를 설계하였으며, 설계된 데이터를 이용하여 Ion-Assisted Deposition 장비를 사용, $TiO_2/SiO_2$ 유전층을 다층 박막으로 증착하였다. 코팅되어진 차단 필터의 특성을 관찰하고자 Spectrophotometer를 이용하여 투과도를 측정하였고, SEM 사진 단면 관찰로 다층 박막의 두께를 알 수 있었으며, AFM 측정으로 표면의 거칠기 정도를 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과로부터 필터의 파장을 조절하여 박막을 증착하였다. 640nm 및 650nm 차단 필터는 설계 곡선과 각각 6nm와 2nm 이내에서 일치하였으며, 400~600nm에서 80% 이상의 투과도를 보였고, 근적외선 영역인 700nm이상에서는 1%이하의 투과도를 보였다. 이러한 결과는 wafer level packaging 을 이용한 카메라 모듈 조립 공정에 응용할 수 있으며, 본 실험에서 제작된 적외선 차단 필터를 이용, 8인치 차단 필터를 제작하는데 기초데이터로 사용할 수 있을 것이다.

Generally, IR cut-off filters for mobile phone is coated on the glass substrate at high temperature(above $300^{\circ}C$). In this work, we prepared IR cut-off filters on the poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) substrates at low temperature(about $70^{\circ}C$ ). using the $CeO_2\;and\;SiO_2$ coatings by physical vapor deposition. The surface energies of coated and uncoated PMMA, and adhesive properties of IR cut-off filters coatings were examined using contact angle measurements. We demonstrate the improve of mobile phone optical system using these results.

We propose a hyperbolic metastructure based on a nanopatterned metal (Ag)-dielectric (PDMS) multilayer and report on its performance in an infrared (IR) cut-off filter for imaging devices. By optimizing the size of the square-shaped Ag nanopattern and the thickness of PDMS surrounding the Ag nanopattern, the proposed IR cut-off filter blocks 99% of light in the 0.70-1.01 ㎛ wavelength band while maintaining a high transmittance of over 94% in the visible region. Here, the cut-off wavelength band starts at a region above the epsilon-near-zero wavelength of the hyperbolic metastructure and ends at the point where plasmonic absorption appears strongly. It is observed that transmittance in the wavelength region longer than the IR cut-off band increases again due to plasmonic coupling among horizontally adjacent Ag nanopatterns. This metastructure can improve the performance of IR-blocking filters as well as allow it to be manufactured ultra-thin, which is applicable to various planar optical elements and integrated optical components.

Films are sensitive to ultraviolet rays and in contrast, digital camera sensors are extremely sensitive to infrared rays due to the differences in spectral characteristics. As a result, all digital cameras that use CCD or CMOS are equipped with IR Cut-Off Filter on the overall sensor. Complete block out of infrared rays is ideal, but the actual experiment results showed that infrared rays were not being blocked out completely. Infrared permeability was also different for each camera. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effect of the minute quantities of infrared rays, which get transmitted due to mechanical properties of IR Cut-Off Filters that are installed on digital cameras, on digital picture images. The results obtained by carrying out a comparative analysis of a UV Filter (infrared transmitting state) and a UV-IR Filter (infrared blocked out state) are as follows. It was confirmed that the minute quantities of infrared rays do affect dynamic range and resolution to some extent, despite the little or no difference in noise and color reproduction.

Recently, infrared (IR)-based depth sensors have proliferated as consumer electronics thanks to decreased price, which led to various applications including gesture recognition in television virtual studios. However, the depth sensors fail to capture depth information correctly under strong light conditions emitting infrared light which are very common in television studios. This paper analyzes the mechanism of such interference between the depth sensors relying on certain IR frequencies and infrared light emitting sources, and provides methods to get correct depth information by applying filters. Also, it describes experiment methods and presents the results of applying multiple combinations of filters with different cut-off frequencies. Finally, it proves that the interference due to IR can be filtered out using proposed filtering method practically by experiment.

The dark-field laser scattering system has been developed to inspect surface defects in infrared cut-off filters and then laser scattering characteristics against the defects are investigated. The qualitative analysis for the reliable and accurate detection performance is described through the correlation between incident angles of a laser and viewing ones of a camera. In this paper, reliable and important information with laser scattering is given for the surface defect inspection of IR filters. Its performance has been verified through various experiments.

This study aimed to a basic research for the development of dye-sensitized solar cells that the wavelength band required for crop growth is passed, and the wavelength band that is not necessary for crop growth can be used for the generation of electricity. The transmissivity according to the illuminance was about 10% higher in the Blue filter and the Green filter than in the Red filter, but the transmissivity according to the PPFD was about 10% higher in the Red filter and the Blue filter than in the Green filter. In addition, the greenhouse attached with 30% infrared blocking filter was predicted to have a lower air temperature than other greenhouses, but it was investigated that there was no significant difference. Therefore, it was investigated that the application of the infrared cut filter would not be appropriate in a greenhouse that controls the temperature by opening a window. As a result of investigating, it was found that the Green and Blue filter greenhouses had the severe overgrowth and the stems grew weaker. The fresh weight of paprika in the infrared blocking filter greenhouse was the highest at 678.9g, and the growth of Red filter and the control greenhouses was relatively poor. Photosynthetic rate, amount of transpiration, and stomatal conductivity were the infrared blocking filter and control greenhouse higher than others. On the other hand, the water use efficiency did not show a big difference.

650nm 적외선 차단 필터를 Macleod 프로그램을 이용하여 설계하고, 이온보조증착(IAD) 장비를 이용하여 코팅한 후 투과도, 파장, 두께특성을 조사하였다. 차단필터의 증착물질은 $TiO_2$ (n=2.30) /$SiO_2$ (n=1.46) 을 사용하여 45층의 다층 박막으로 증착하였다. 코팅된 차단필터는 차단파장이 651 nm로써 평균 ${\pm}5$ nm 이내의 편차를 보였다. 420~630 nm 파장영역에서 평균 투과도는 89%이었으며, 투과도의 균일도는 약 2.12로써 매우 균일하였다. 투과도기 단파장 영역에서 감소된 것은 다층박막 증착 시 산소가 결핍된 것으로 판단된다.
