12-003 12.5 mm Dia. Infrared (IR) Neutral Density Filter; OD 0.3 2-14µm

This is a 12.5 mm diameter Infrared (IR) Neutral Density Filter, model number 12-003, sourced from the renowned optical components vendor, Edmund Optics. The filter is designed to reduce the intensity of a broad range of wavelengths without altering the color composition of the light, making it an ideal choice for various applications that require light intensity reduction.

The filter boasts a 0.3 Optical Density (OD), which translates to a reduction of 50% in light intensity. It is compatible with a wide infrared spectrum, specifically between 2-14 µm, making it suitable for a variety of IR-based applications. The filter is made of Germanium Burnett, a material known for its excellent optical properties in the infrared spectrum.

The filter's geometry includes a diameter of 12.5 mm and a thickness of 1 mm, designed in a Thin Lens shape. This shape ensures minimal distortion and maintains the integrity of the light path. The filter's front and back are coated with 'edm 12-003', a coating that enhances the filter's performance and durability.

The filter is currently in stock and can be purchased directly from the Edmund Optics website using the provided weblink. With its robust design, wide compatibility, and high-quality construction, this filter is an excellent choice for any application that requires IR light intensity reduction.
