The 14-451 is a 50 x 50 mm SCHOTT UG5 Black Colored Glass Bandpass Filter, specifically designed for use in ultraviolet (UV) applications with a central wavelength of 318nm. This filter is sourced from Edmund Optics, a leading vendor in the optical industry, and is available for purchase through their website.
This filter is a Color Glass type, which is known for its ability to selectively transmit light within a specific range of wavelengths while blocking unwanted light outside this range. The UG5 material used in this filter is a Schott glass, renowned for its excellent optical properties and durability.
The filter has a rectangular base shape, with a width and height of 50mm each, and a thickness of 1mm. This thin profile makes it suitable for use in various optical systems where space is a constraint. The front and back surfaces of the filter are coated with EDMP 14-451, a coating specifically designed to enhance the filter's performance and durability.
The filter's geometry and coating make it ideal for use in UV applications that require a narrow bandpass around 318nm. Its black color enhances its light absorption capabilities, further reducing unwanted reflections and scattering.
