14-082 50 x 50 mm SCHOTT NG3 Gray Glass Neutral Density Color Filter 400-700nm

The 14-082 50 x 50 mm SCHOTT NG3 Gray Glass Neutral Density Color Filter is a high-quality optical component designed for use in a wide range of applications. Sourced from Edmund Optics, this filter is a rectangular piece of Schott NG3 glass, measuring 50 x 50 mm and 2 mm in thickness.

The filter is designed to provide neutral density, meaning it reduces the intensity of light equally across the visible spectrum, without affecting the color balance. This is particularly useful in applications where the intensity of light needs to be reduced, but the color balance needs to be maintained.

The filter's spectral response is defined by its cut-on and cut-off wavelengths, which are 400nm and 700nm respectively. This means that the filter begins to transmit light at 400nm and stops transmitting at 700nm. This broad spectral response makes it suitable for use with a wide range of light sources.

The filter's coating is another key feature. Both the front and back surfaces of the filter are coated with the EDM 14-082 coating, which is specifically designed to enhance the filter's performance and durability. This coating helps to reduce surface reflections and improve the filter's overall transmission.

The filter's shape is that of a thin lens, which is designed to minimize optical aberrations and ensure optimal performance. This makes the filter suitable for use in high-precision optical systems.
