The 14-457 is a 50 x 50 mm SCHOTT BG36 Clear Colored Glass Bandpass Filter, available from Edmund Optics. This filter is designed with a specific wavelength of 588 nm, making it suitable for applications that require precise wavelength control.
The filter is made from SCHOTT BG36 glass, a high-quality optical material known for its excellent transmission properties and durability. The glass is cut into a rectangular shape, with a thickness of 1 mm, providing a balance between robustness and light weight.
The filter features a coating on both the front and back surfaces, identified as 'edm 14-457'. This coating is designed to enhance the filter's performance, providing improved wavelength selectivity and reducing unwanted reflections. The coating also helps to protect the glass from environmental factors, such as dust and moisture.
The filter's geometry is defined as a 'Thin Lens', indicating that it has been precisely shaped to minimize optical aberrations. This makes it ideal for use in imaging systems and other applications where high optical quality is required.
The filter is currently in stock and can be purchased directly from the Edmund Optics website. With its specific wavelength, high-quality glass, and precise geometry, the 14-457 is a reliable and versatile option for a wide range of optical applications.
