Sculptured thin film Solc filters for optical sensing of gas concentration

Abstract
The viability of sculptured thin film (STF) implementations of Šolc fan and folded filters for optical detection and determination of gas concentration is established. A nanoscopic–to–continuum model is devised for predicting the electromagnetic (optical) response of a STF Šolc filter whose void regions are filled with a chemically non–reacting gas. Ultra–narrow band–pass features in the transmission spectrum are shown to shift with the gas concentration.
