ABSTRACT:
The invention is a filter device of at least two layers, the first layer of Al.sub.x Ga.sub.(1-x) N and the second layer of Al.sub.y Ga.sub.(1-y) N wherein x and y may have any value from 0 to 1. The invention may be used as a fixed wavelength or tunable wavelength filter or in ultraviolet detectors and laser devices, among other systems. Applications for the invention include detection of UV radiation in environments having a high level of incident infrared and visible radiation, as well as applications requiring detection of UV emission when no other radiation is present.
