550FD26-25 25mm Dia. Soda Lime Magenta Subtractive Dichroic Filter

The 550FD26-25 is a 25mm diameter dichroic filter, part of the extensive catalog offered by Andover Corporation. This filter is designed for use in optical systems, offering specific wavelength attenuation properties.

The filter is made from soda lime, a common material in optical applications due to its excellent optical properties and durability. It has a clear base, allowing for maximum light transmission. The filter is 1mm thick, providing a good balance between robustness and ease of integration into optical systems.

The dichroic coating on the filter is magenta, identified as 'and 550fd26' on both the front and back surfaces. This coating is designed to selectively reflect or transmit light at specific wavelengths, making it ideal for applications where certain wavelengths need to be isolated or removed. The center wavelength of this filter is 550nm.

The filter is shaped as a thin lens, which is a common form factor for filters. This shape allows for easy integration into optical systems, particularly where space is at a premium. The filter's circular geometry further simplifies integration, as it can be used in a wide variety of optical systems without the need for complex alignment.
