    Measured spectral transmittance curves of thin films; a spectrum of the silicon substrate is also presented in order to make a comparison.
    Optical constants of thin films evaporated from the starting materials with a Ge concentration x of 0.18.
    Summary of measured spectral transmittance curves for the sapphire wafer, silicon wafer, Ge wafer, Pb1−xGexTe thin films, and PbTe thin films, respectively.
    Transmission spectrum of the narrowband filter fabricated using Pb1−xGexTe as a high-index material (black), compared with that using Ge as a high-index material (red).
    Standard adhesion tests are performed on the filters using Pb1−xGexTe as a high-index layer material.
