ABSTRACT:
An ND filter is composed of a transparent substrate, a laminate of a light-absorbing film and a dielectric film formed on the transparent substrate, and a carbon film formed to clad a surface of the laminate of the light-absorbing films and the dielectric films. Depending on cases, another carbon film is also formed on a reverse side of the transparent substrate. The carbon film is formed by a deposition process at a deposition temperature ranging from a room temperature to 150° C. The light-absorbing film is formed of a mixture of metal and compound thereof, a material of the metal being selected from a group consisting of Ti, Cr, Ni, NiCr, NiFe, and NiTi. The dielectric film is formed of SiO2or Al2O3.
