Clearance G 1 is opposite disposed;Circular electrode 6A (the 2nd electrode), it is arranged on the 2nd substrate 2
Reflecting mirror 4A around;Circular electrode 6B (the 1st electrode), it is being formed at the 1st base
The circular second recesses 7 of the surrounding of the 1st recess 5 of plate 3, with electrode 6A across the 2nd gap
G2 is opposite disposed;The circular diaphragm portion 8 of thin-walled, it is in opposed faces 2a of the 2nd substrate 2
Opposing face side, is formed by etching (selecting to remove) in the position being generally corresponding to electrode 6A.
Diaphragm portion 8 by the 1st side surface part 8c, the 2nd side surface part 8e, bottom surface sections 8a, be positioned at the 1st side
Face 8c and bottom surface sections 8a between the 1st end 8b and be positioned at the 2nd side surface part 8e and bottom surface
The 2nd end 8d between portion 8a is constituted.It addition, diaphragm portion 8, be positioned at reflecting mirror 4A side
The 1st end 8b be formed as the most not overlapping with reflecting mirror 4A.By such structure,
The carrying out to light incident for reflecting mirror 4A can be suppressed to be blocked by the 1st side surface part 8c of diaphragm portion 8.
] and, by electrode 6A, the 6B opposite disposed across the 2nd clearance G 2, and diaphragm portion 8 structure
Become electrostatic actuator.
The material of the 2nd substrate the 2 and the 1st substrate 3 can be used glass as.Specifically, permissible
Be preferably used soda-lime glass, glass ceramics, quartz glass, lead glass, potash glass, pyrex,
Sodium borosilicate glass, alkali-free glass etc..
There is the material of light transmission by making the 2nd substrate the 2 and the 1st substrate 3 jointly use, it is possible to
Electromagnetic wave or the luminous ray of the wavelength band wanted in electromagnetic wave are used as incident illumination.
If it addition, make the 2nd substrate the 2 and the 1st substrate 3 be used in conjunction with semi-conducting material, such as using
Silicon is formed, then near infrared ray can be used as incident illumination.
Reflecting mirror 4A, 4B form across the 1st mutually opposing configuration of clearance G 1, and by height
The multilayer dielectric film of index layer multilamellar alternately laminated with low-index layer is constituted.Additionally, it is anti-
Penetrate mirror 4A, 4B and be not limited to multilayer dielectric film, such as, can also use with silver as main component
Alloy film or their multilayer film etc..
The reflecting mirror 4A of the side in these reflecting mirrors 4A, 4B is owing to being arranged at the deformable 2nd
Substrate 2, thus also referred to as moving reflector, the reflecting mirror 4B of the opposing party is constant owing to being arranged at
1st substrate 3 of shape, thus also referred to as stationary mirror.
When this optical filter 1 is used in the region of luminous ray or ultrared region, such as,
Use titanium oxide (Ti2O), tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5), niobium pentaoxide (Nb2O5) etc. conduct
The material of the high refractive index layer in formation multilayer dielectric film.It addition, optical filter 1 is being used
During the region of ultraviolet, such as, use aluminium sesquioxide (Al2O3), hafnium oxide (HfO2), two
Zirconium oxide (ZrO2), thorium anhydride (ThO2) etc. as formed high refractive index layer material.
On the other hand, bifluoride magnesium (MgF is such as used2), silicon dioxide (SiO2) etc. as shape
The material of the low-index layer in one-tenth multilayer dielectric film.For this high refractive index layer and low-refraction
The number of plies of layer and thickness, suitably set according to required optical characteristics.Generally, exist
In the case of being formed reflectance coating (reflecting mirror) by multilayer dielectric film, in order to obtain its optical characteristics,
The number of plies needed is more than 12 layers.
Electrode 6A, 6B form across the 2nd clearance G 2 is arranged opposite, and constitute electrostatic and cause
A part for dynamic device, this electrostatic actuator makes these electrodes 6A, 6B according to the driving voltage of input
Between produce electrostatic so that reflecting mirror 4A, 4B are with mutually opposing state relative movement.
Thus, electrode 6A, 6B make diaphragm portion 8 above-below direction displacement in fig. 2 to make reflecting mirror 4A,
The 1st clearance G 1 between 4B changes, thus penetrate the wavelength corresponding with the 1st clearance G 1
Light.
It addition, electrode 6A is as shown in Figure 2, it is arranged on under bottom surface sections 8a of tabular surface
In region, side.Assume make electrode 6A according to the 1st end 8b, the 2nd end 8d with curved surface
In the case of overlapping mode is formed, due to diaphragm portion 8 driving and diaphragm portion 8 strains, lead
Cause the electrode 6A in the lower section being positioned at the 1st end 8b, the 2nd end 8d and produce big stress.From
And, there is electrode 6A and produce the probability of the unfavorable conditions such as crack.But, by by electrode 6A shape
In the lower zone of bottom surface sections 8a of Cheng Cheng tabular surface, it is possible to prevent the deformation along with diaphragm portion 8
The crack etc. of electrode 6A.
Additionally, in the present embodiment, due to the 2nd substrate 2 opposed faces 2a be formed at the 1st
The second recesses 7 of substrate 3 is parallel, thus the most parallel between electrode 6A, 6B.
The material forming these electrodes 6A, 6B is the material of electric conductivity, is not particularly limited,
Such as use the metals such as Cr, Al, Al alloy, Ni, Zn, Ti, Au, or be dispersed with carbon, titanium
Deng resin, polysilicon (Polysilicon), silicon, silicon nitride, ITO etc. are transparent leads for non-crystalline silicon etc.
Electric material etc..
These electrodes 6A, 6B as shown in Figure 1, are connected to connect up 11A, 11B, these electrodes
6A, 6B are connected with power supply (not shown) by these wirings 11A, 11b.
It addition, these wirings 11A, 11B are formed in wiring groove 12A or wiring groove 12B, its
In, wiring groove 12A is formed in the 2nd substrate 2, and wiring groove 12B is formed in the 1st substrate 3.
Therefore, without interference with the joint of the 2nd substrate the 2 and the 1st substrate 3.
Power supply by electrode 6A, 6B apply voltage as drive signal, come drive electrode 6A, 6B,
Thus between electrode 6A, 6B, produce the electrostatic wanted.Additionally, this power supply is connected to control device (not
Diagram), by power supply being controlled by this control device, it is possible to adjust the electricity between electrode 6A, 6B
Potential difference.
Diaphragm portion 8 compared with the position of the 2nd substrate 2 not forming this diaphragm portion 8, thinner thickness.
So, the position that thickness is thin compared with other positions in the 2nd substrate 2 has elasticity (flexible) and energy
Enough deform (movable), and thus this diaphragm portion 8 is by making the 1st clearance G 1 change make reflection
The interval that interval variation between mirror 4A, 4B becomes and the light of wavelength wanted is corresponding, thus have and make to think
The wavelength selection function of the light injection of the wavelength wanted.
Shape and thickness for these diaphragm portions 8, it is possible to make the light injection of the scope of the wavelength wanted
