The 12-017 is a Neutral Density Filter with a 12.5 mm diameter, sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Edmund Optics. This filter is designed for Infrared (IR) applications, specifically for wavelengths around 588 nm.
The filter is made of Germanium Burnett, a high-quality material known for its excellent optical properties. It features a Thin Lens shape, which is beneficial for applications requiring minimal thickness and weight.
The filter's Neutral Density property reduces the intensity of light without altering its color. This is particularly useful in IR applications where controlling light intensity is crucial. The filter has an Optical Density (OD) of 3, which means it reduces the light intensity by a factor of 1000.
The filter's coating, edm 12-017, is applied on both the front and back surfaces. This coating enhances the filter's performance and durability, making it suitable for various IR applications.
