In support of a spaceborne astrophysics instrument design, we have studied high UV filter efficiency and strong transmission blocking out to the end of Si response at 1100nm. For filters at wavelengths 297.5nm/338.5nm/379.5nm, these attributes are achieved with the combination of hard sputtered dielectric coatings on colored glass substrates. The filterglass substrates can be used to suppress ghost images caused by reflection at the exit face which is a common problem of all interference filter designs. Known disadvantages of filterglasses like solarization or autofluorescence are discussed and possible ways to mitigate are discussed. At two shorter wavelengths, 215.5nm and 256.5nm, metaldielectric Fabry-Perot stacks are applied on fused silica. Those traditional designs are advantageous due to their efficient blocking up to the mid IR range and economic low number of layers. We discuss the different design possibilities of metal-dielectric filters and ways to improve the steepness of the slopes. Resulting spectra are expressed.
