The 14-452 is a 50 x 50 mm SCHOTT UG5 black colored glass bandpass filter, specifically designed for use in ultraviolet (UV) applications with a center wavelength of 318nm. This filter is sourced from Edmund Optics, a leading vendor in the optical industry, and is available for purchase through their online catalog.
The filter is made from SCHOTT UG5 glass, a material known for its excellent optical properties and durability. It has a thickness of 2mm, providing robustness and stability during operation. The rectangular shape of the filter, with a width of 50mm and a height of 50mm, makes it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The 14-452 filter features a bandpass coating on both the front and back surfaces, identified as 'edm 14-452'. This coating is designed to transmit light within the specified bandwidth around the 318nm wavelength, while blocking unwanted light outside this range. This feature makes it ideal for applications that require narrow-band UV transmission.
The filter is classified as a color glass filter, which means it alters the color composition of the incident light. In this case, the filter has a black appearance due to its absorption properties. This coloration is a result of the specific materials and coatings used in its construction.
