Optical spectral filtering is a crucial aspect of applications that involves light. The areas where spectral filtering is utilized are vast and diverse: among the fields where optical filtering is of need are medical diagnostics, communication networks, photography, spectroscopy, food-quality control, gas, chemical and biological sensors, and many others. Iridian Spectral Technologies Ltd (Iridian) is an Ottawa-based diversified supplier of thin film technology covering many application areas and operating in a global market. The company invests heavily in research and development in order to remain competitive and to keep its position at the forefront of optical filtering technology. Implementing new approaches in creating optical filters at lower cost, with better performance, as well as expanding the company's products to new wavelength ranges is key to successful competition in the market place. This Strategic collaboration aspires to improve the company's existing filtering technology especially in the mid-infrared wavelength range. The approach we seek to implement relies on metamaterials, that is, artificial 2D and 3D structures produced by micro and nanofabrication. If successful, this could become a new approach that could potentially lead to breakthroughs in filter technology, making this Canada-based enterprise a pioneer in the field and strengthening its position in global market. This project will also provide training to highly qualified and skilled personnel, benefiting from an environment enriched by an industrial dimension and promoting effective knowledge transfer to industry.

光谱滤波是涉及光的应用的关键方面。使用光谱过滤的区域庞大而多样：在需要光学过滤的领域中，有医疗诊断，通信网络，摄影，光谱，食品质量控制，气体，化学和生物传感器等。 Iridian Spectral Technologies Ltd（Iridian）是渥太华的薄膜技术多元化供应商，涵盖了许多应用领域并在全球市场运营。该公司在研发上进行了大量投资，以保持竞争力并保持其位置在光学过滤技术的最前沿。以较低的成本创建光学过滤器，并以更好的性能以及将公司的产品扩展到新的波长范围，这是在市场上成功竞争的关键。 这种战略合作渴望改善公司现有的过滤技术，尤其是在中红外波长范围内。我们寻求实施的方法依赖于超材料，即微型和纳米制造产生的人工2D和3D结构。如果成功的话，这可能会成为一种新的方法，有可能导致过滤技术的突破，从而使这家总部位于加拿大的企业成为该领域的先驱，并加强其在全球市场中的地位。该项目还将为高度合格和熟练的人员提供培训，这使得从工业维度丰富的环境中受益，并促进了有效的知识转移到行业。
