13-174 25 mm Dia. Hoya ND-0.3 Absorptive Neutral Density Filter; OD 1.5 600-1050nm

The 13-174 25 mm Dia. Hoya ND-0.3 Absorptive Neutral Density Filter is a high-quality optical component designed for a wide range of applications. Sourced from the renowned vendor Edmund Optics, this filter is part of their extensive catalog, known for its precision and reliability.

This filter is a Neutral Density (ND) type, specifically designed to reduce the intensity of incident light without altering its color composition. The ND-0.3 designation indicates a 0.3 reduction in light intensity, equivalent to an Optical Density (OD) of 1.5 in the 600-1050nm wavelength range. This makes it ideal for applications requiring moderate light reduction, such as in high-intensity laser systems or high-resolution imaging setups.

The filter is circular in shape, with a diameter of 25mm, and has a thickness of 1.5mm. This compact design makes it suitable for use in various optical systems where space is a constraint. The filter is coated on both sides with the EDM 13-174 coating, enhancing its light absorption capabilities and ensuring durability.

The geometry of the filter is defined as a Thin Lens, suggesting that it has been designed to minimize optical aberrations and distortions. This is particularly important in applications requiring high precision and accuracy, such as in scientific research or industrial inspection.
