Thorlabs' Edgepass Filter Kits each contain 10 mounted longpass or shortpass filters for isolating regions of the Visible or IR spectrum. Each filter is mounted in a Ø1" black anodized aluminum ring that can be placed in a variety of lens tubes and optical mounts. The filters are packaged in a metal storage box. Detailed specifications can be found in the table below. Our edgepass filters are constructed of durable dielectric coatings and will withstand the normal cleaning and handling associated with any high-quality optical component. Their film construction is essentially a modified quarter-wave stack, using interference effects, rather than absorption, to isolate their spectral bands. Thus, unlike colored filter glass, the cut-off/cut-on wavelength will be shifted to shorter wavelengths with an increase in the angle of incidence. This feature can be useful in applications where it is desirable to fine tune the location of the cut-on or cut-off wavelength. Our edgepass filters are hermetically sealed for maximum humidity protection and may be combined for custom bandpass filters. Transmission curves are available in the Support Documents for each filter. | Specifications | Longpass Filters | Shortpass Filters |
