How do sunglasses interference filters work

The interference filter in sunglasses mainly works through the interference principle of light to achieve the filtration and regulation of specific wavelengths of light to protect the eyes from harmful light and provide a comfortable visual experience. Its working principle can be summarized as follows:

This periodic structure is the basis of interference effect. When the light passes through the interference filter, the light of different wavelengths is reflected and refracted several times between the multiple layers of the film. Interference occurs between these reflected and refracted light waves, that is, the light waves reinforce each other or cancel each other out when superimposed. The specific wavelength of light waves will strengthen each other during the interference process, so as to penetrate the filter plate; Other wavelengths of light cancel each other out and are absorbed or reflected back by the filter.

By precisely designing the thickness and refractive index of the film, the interference filter can have high transmittance for specific wavelengths of light and low transmittance or cutoff for other wavelengths of light. In sunglasses, interference filters are often designed to have a high cut-off rate for harmful light such as ultraviolet (UV) light, while allowing visible light to pass through to protect the eye from UV damage.

Interference filters are very sensitive to the incidence Angle. When the incidence Angle changes, the spectral characteristics of the filter (such as the center wavelength, bandwidth, etc.) will also change. Therefore, when designing sunglasses, it is necessary to consider the wearer's head posture and eye position to ensure that the filter can provide stable optical performance at different angles.The interference filter in some sunglasses also combines polarization technology, which can further reduce the interference of reflected light such as water and snow, and improve visual clarity and comfort.

Interference filters in sunglasses filter and adjust specific wavelengths of light through the interference effect of multi-layer films. This filter can not only effectively block harmful light such as ultraviolet rays, but also maintain a high transmittance of visible light, providing a clear and comfortable visual experience for the wearer. At the same time, its Angle sensitivity and possible polarization effect also make the filter can play a good role in different environments.
