Abstract: The light is filtered by a two- or three-band optical device integrated with two- and three-band mixing method so that only the light in the wavelength range of the pass bands can pass through this optical device and reach the optical sensor for the opto-electronic sensing application, or human eyes for the visual instrument application, or the surface of target object for the illumination application. The color difference and/or chromaticness difference can be enhanced by this method. And the target identification or object classification can be implemented by this method in terms of color attributes. With this method, two- and/or three-band ratio criteria widely used in remote sensing and machine vision applications can be calculated in terms of color attributes, and two- and/or three-band multi-spectral imaging can be acquired so that the complicated and expensive two and three band multi-spectral imaging system can be replaced by this kind of sensing device.

The metal film layer supports a plurality of plasmons, the plurality of plasmons producing a first field and is excited by a transverse mode of the waveguide modes at a wavelength interval.
