The 14-448 is a 50 x 50 mm SCHOTT UG1 Black Colored Glass Bandpass Filter, specifically designed for use in ultraviolet (UV) applications with a center wavelength of 355nm. This filter is sourced from Edmund Optics, a leading vendor in the optical industry, and is available for purchase through their website.
The filter is made from SCHOTT UG1 glass, a high-quality material known for its excellent optical properties. It has a thickness of 1mm, providing durability while maintaining minimal impact on the optical path. The filter's rectangular shape, with dimensions of 50mm in width and 50mm in height, makes it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The 14-448 filter features a bandpass coating on both the front and back surfaces, identified as 'edm 14-448'. This coating is designed to allow transmission of light within a specific range of wavelengths around 355nm, while blocking unwanted light outside this range. This makes it ideal for UV applications that require high transmission and rejection of unwanted wavelengths.
The filter is classified as a Color Glass type, indicating that it utilizes the properties of colored glass to achieve its desired optical effects. This is reflected in its black color, which is a result of the specific materials and processes used in its manufacture.
The 14-448 filter is available in a Thin Lens shape, which is a flat, thin optical element. This shape is often used in optical systems where space is limited, or where the optical path needs to be as straightforward as possible.
