The 12-001 is a 25 mm diameter Infrared (IR) Neutral Density Filter, specifically designed for use in the infrared spectrum with a wavelength of 588 nm. This filter is manufactured by Edmund Optics, a leading vendor in the optical industry, and is available for purchase through their website. The filter is currently in stock, as indicated by its weblink status.
This Neutral Density Filter is of the Circular type, made from Germanium Burnett material, and features a Thin Lens shape. The filter's geometry includes a diameter of 25 mm and a thickness of 1 mm. The coating on both the front and back of the filter is edm 12-007, providing a consistent and reliable optical surface.
The filter's primary function is to reduce the intensity of incoming light across the entire spectrum without altering the color balance. This is achieved through the use of an Optical Density (OD) of 0.8, which corresponds to a transmission of 16.4% (2-14 µm). This makes the 12-001 an ideal choice for applications where a precise amount of light reduction is required.
