IX. Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a membrane stack structure, and more particularly to a membrane stack structure applied to a beam splitting prism. [Prior Art] At present, 'optical coating has been widely used in projectors, conventional cameras, digital cameras, mobile phones, lens sets used for astronomical telescopes, filters, etc.' to enable these optical components to achieve different optical functions, For example: absorption of ultraviolet light, anti-reflection, color filter, infrared light cut-off, etc. As shown in Fig. 1, the present invention relates to a film stack structure 2 applied to a beam splitting prism 1. The dichroic prism is used in color separation systems for various optical instruments. After the external light enters the beam splitting prism i, it is incident on the surface 3 coated with the film stack structure 2 at an angle of 45 degrees, and the light in the transmission wavelength range is transmitted through the film stack structure 2 from the upper surface 4 of the beam splitting prism i at the reflection wavelength. The light in the range is reflected by the stack structure 2 and is emitted from the side 5 of the beam splitting prism to achieve the effect of spectral filtering. π The existing membrane stack structure 2 usually uses high and low refractive index materials to alternate the cycle of the layers! The film stack structure 2 can be represented as (cucumber), wherein Η represents a high refractive index film layer, and L represents a low refractive index film layer. The ratio of the coefficients in front of the film represents the optical thickness ratio of the respective refractive index film layers, the optical Thick sound: The physical meaning is the product of the physical thickness of the film and the refractive index of the film. The optical P degree is equal to the reference wave county ‧·u μ nine thousand & the ancient refractive index 铋Μ. The upper 裇11 indicates (melon)” The number of cycles of the structure. The refractive index of the 3 rate material is greater than ^ and the refractive index of the low refractive index material 5 201003113 The rate is lower than 1.5. As shown in Fig. 2, it is a transmission spectrum diagram of a film stack structure 2 (ffi) 18 having a reference wavelength of 550 nm and a period of incidence of 45 degrees. The solid line is the transmission spectrum line of natural light, the broken line is the transmission spectrum line of parallel polarized light (p_p〇larized), and the dotted line is the transmission spectrum line of vertically polarized light (s_Polarized). The vertically polarized light is linearly polarized light having a plane of polarization perpendicular to a plane defined by the normal to the surface of the filter and the incident ray. The parallel polarized light is linearly polarized light whose plane of polarization is parallel to the plane of polarization of the vertically polarized light. Natural light can be seen as a superposition of parallel polarized light (p_p〇larized) and vertically polarized light (S-Polarized) with the same amplitude. Since the vertically polarized light of the same wavelength and the parallel polarized light exhibit different refractive indices for the same material, the parallel polarization spectral characteristics transmitted through the film stack structure 2(m) 18 are shifted from the characteristics of the vertically polarized light 4, That is, the dashed curve and the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 2 have a translation in the wavelength direction, and the parallel polarized light transmits the half value wavelength of the spectral line (the wavelength corresponding to the transmittance of 50%) and the half of the vertical polarized light transmission spectral line. The value wavelengths differ by more than 70 nm. At this time, the non-smooth portion of the transmission spectrum of the natural light after mixing at a half-value wavelength affects the effect of the spectral filtering. Because the parallel light emitted by the light source in the optical system usually has a certain angular error, the variation of the transmission spectral characteristics of the spectral filter film stack with the incident light angle has become one of the criteria for examining the quality of the spectral filter film stack. Taking the incident angles of 53 degrees and 37 degrees as examples, the transmission spectral characteristics of the stack structure 2 (itt) 18 are observed as a function of incident light angle. As shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, the solid line is the transmission spectrum line of natural light, the broken line is the transmission spectrum line of parallel polarized light, and the dotted line is the transmission spectrum line of vertically polarized light. It can be seen from Fig. 3 that when the incident angle is large (incident angle is 53 degrees), the nonlinear non-smooth portion of the natural light transmission spectral line of the film stack structure 2 (ffl) 18 is more obvious, and the reflection wavelength range is reflected. The rate is also much lower. It can be seen from the comparison between FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 that the transmission spectrum characteristic of the film stack structure 2 varies significantly with angle, and if the wavelength corresponding to the transmittance is 3〇%, the natural light at an incident angle of 53 degrees is compared. The transmission spectral line differs from the natural light transmission spectral line at an incident angle of 37 degrees by 8 〇 nm. In summary, the existing membrane stack structure 2 (/Jiang) 18 has a large difference in the refractive index of the high- and low-refractive-index materials, resulting in a poor effect of the occurrence of the delocalized wave, and the transmission spectral characteristics vary significantly with the angle and Disadvantages such as a decrease in the reflectance of the reflection band at a large angle of incidence. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This stack structure is contemplated. It is necessary to provide a membrane-membrane stack structure having a better sub-four wave effect, the stack structure comprising a transparent substrate and a stack of := periodic stacks. The periodic junction of the periodic film stack has a refractive index ranging from 仫71 to 1.79 or 1.81 to 186.
