This is a 12-000 series Neutral Density Filter, manufactured by Edmund Optics, specifically designed for Infrared (IR) applications with a 25 mm diameter. The filter has a thickness of 1 mm and is made of Germanium Burnett material, ensuring high-quality performance and durability.
The filter's primary function is to reduce the intensity of light without altering its color composition, making it ideal for various applications where precise light control is required. It boasts an Optical Density (OD) of 0.7, which corresponds to a transmission of 37% at the specified wavelength of 588 µm. This OD value indicates that the filter can attenuate the light intensity to approximately 1/3 of the original intensity.
The filter's coating, both on the front and back, is EDM 12-006, which further enhances its performance and longevity. The filter's shape is that of a Thin Lens, which is beneficial in applications where minimal thickness and weight are desirable.
The 12-000 series filter is currently in stock and can be purchased directly from the Edmund Optics website using the provided weblink. This filter is a versatile and reliable option for those requiring precise light control in the infrared spectrum.
