The 14-437 is a 50 x 50 mm SCHOTT BG63 Blue-Green Harsh Environment Colored Glass NIR Cut-Off Filter, designed to block near-infrared (NIR) light at a cut-off wavelength of 480nm. This filter is sourced from Edmund Optics, a leading provider of optical components.
The filter is made of color glass, a type of optical filter that uses colored glass to alter the properties of light. This particular filter is rectangular in shape, with a thickness of 1mm, making it suitable for various optical applications. The BG63 material ID indicates that it belongs to the Schott BG series, which is known for its excellent transmission characteristics and durability.
The 14-437 filter features coatings on both the front and back surfaces, denoted as 'edm 14-437'. These coatings are designed to enhance the filter's performance and durability, particularly in harsh environments. The physical data of the filter indicates a central wavelength (CWL) of 480nm, which is the wavelength at which the filter begins to significantly attenuate light.
In terms of geometry, the filter has a width of 50mm and a height of 50mm, making it a square filter. The 'Thin Lens' shape indicates that the filter is thin relative to its diameter, which can be beneficial in certain optical systems.
