Zusammenfassung:An optical filter is described having a laterally variable transmission wavelength within a wavelength range, the optical filter comprising:a bandpass filter comprising a stack of alternating first and second layers comprising first and second materials, respectively;a blocking filter comprising a stack of alternating third and fourth layers, comprising third and fourth materials, respectively;wherein the first, second and fourth materials each comprise different materials, so that a refractive index of the first material is smaller than a refractive index of the second material, the refractive index of the second material is smaller than a refractive index of the fourth material, and an absorption coefficient of the second material is smaller than an absorption coefficient of the fourth material.
