The 14-508 is a rectangular color glass filter, measuring 50 x 50 mm, with a thickness of 1 mm, sourced from the renowned optical vendor, Edmund Optics. This filter is made from SCHOTT OG590, a high-quality optical glass known for its excellent transmission properties and durability.
The filter is designed as a longpass filter, with a cut-on wavelength of 590 nm. This means it allows transmission of longer wavelengths while blocking or attenuating shorter wavelengths. The cut-on wavelength is the point at which the filter starts to transmit light, and in this case, it is 590 nm. The cut-off wavelength, on the other hand, is 0 nm, indicating that it allows all wavelengths shorter than 590 nm to pass through.
The filter's coating is another notable feature. Both the front and back surfaces are coated with EDM 14-508, a proprietary coating developed by Edmund Optics. This coating enhances the filter's performance and durability, providing improved transmission and resistance to environmental factors.
The filter's geometry is that of a thin lens, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications. The physical data provided indicates that the filter is cut on 590 nm, further emphasizing its role as a longpass filter.
