Abstract

Methods and devices are described that relate to spectral filters and associated eyewear that are specifically designed to block emissions of circadian-active blue light to reach the observer. An example wearable device that includes one or more windows, and a spectral filter that comprises a coating positioned on one or more sections of the one or more windows. The spectral filter includes a multi-layer stack of dielectric material with alternate high and low indices of refraction. The number of the layers and a thickness of each layer are selected to provide designed transmission and blocking characteristics to block circadian-active spectra while allowing spectral content outside of the circadian-active spectra to pass through the spectral filter. The spectral filter further includes an additional layer to effectuate a particular color such as the color pink.
