The 14-460 50 x 50 mm SCHOTT N-WG280 Colored Glass Longpass Filter is a specialized optical component designed for applications that require longpass filtering at a cut-on wavelength of 280nm. This filter is sourced from Edmund Optics, a leading vendor in the optical industry, and is available in a rectangular shape with dimensions of 50 x 50 mm and a thickness of 1mm.
The filter is made from SCHOTT N-WG280 glass, a material known for its excellent optical properties. It features a longpass filter coating on both the front and back surfaces, identified as EDM 14-460. This coating is designed to allow transmission of wavelengths above 280nm while effectively blocking shorter wavelengths.
The physical data of the filter indicates a cut-on wavelength of 280nm, meaning it starts to transmit light at this wavelength. The cut-off wavelength is 0nm, indicating that it blocks all wavelengths shorter than 280nm. The filter's geometry, including its width, height, and thickness, are precisely engineered to ensure optimal performance in its intended application.
This filter is part of the UVFS MAL-1965 material ID category, further highlighting its suitability for ultraviolet applications. It is available in a thin lens shape, making it compatible with a wide range of optical systems. The filter's catalog number is 14-460, and it can be found on the Edmund Optics website, where it is currently in stock.
