Abstract
We have fabricated optically bistable interference filters from layers of TiO2 and SiO2 vapour deposited on glass substrates. An experimental comparison with the more conventional ZnSe filters is presented. Our devices are superior in durability and switching contrast, equal in switching threshold, and slower in switching time.
