12-014 12.5 mm Dia. Infrared (IR) Neutral Density Filter; OD 1.5 2-14µm

This is a 12.5 mm diameter Infrared (IR) Neutral Density Filter, model number 12-014, sourced from the renowned optical components vendor, Edmund Optics. The filter is designed to reduce the intensity of incident light without altering its color composition, making it an ideal choice for various applications involving infrared radiation.

The filter boasts a high Optical Density (OD) of 1.5, which is equivalent to a transmission of 3.16% at the specified central wavelength of 588 nm. This high OD ensures effective light reduction, providing enhanced control over the intensity of infrared light in your optical system.

The filter is made from Germanium Burnett, a material known for its excellent optical properties, particularly in the infrared region. This material ensures high transmittance and minimal absorption or reflection of infrared light.

The filter's geometry includes a diameter of 12.5 mm and a thickness of 1 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The filter is coated on both the front and back with the EDM 12-014 coating, which further enhances its performance and durability.

The filter's shape is that of a Thin Lens, which is beneficial in applications where minimal optical path deviation is required. This shape also contributes to the filter's compact design, making it a space-efficient choice for your optical system.

The filter is currently in stock and can be purchased directly from the Edmund Optics website using the provided weblink. With its high OD, excellent material properties, and compact design, this filter is an excellent choice for any application involving infrared radiation.
