14-544 50 x 50 mm SCHOTT KG1 Colored Glass Heat Absorbing Shortpass Filter 300-2700nm

The 14-544 is a 50 x 50 mm SCHOTT KG1 Colored Glass Heat Absorbing Shortpass Filter, designed to selectively transmit light in the visible spectrum while effectively absorbing infrared radiation. This filter is sourced from Edmund Optics, a leading vendor in the optical industry, and is available for immediate use, as indicated by its "in stock" status on the vendor's website.

The filter is made from SCHOTT KG1 glass, a material known for its excellent optical properties and durability. It has a square shape, with each side measuring 50 mm, and a thickness of 1 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications. The filter's coating, denoted as "edm 14-544" on both the front and back surfaces, enhances its performance by further increasing its heat absorption capabilities.

The 14-544 filter's spectral response is characterized by a cut-on wavelength of 300 nm and a cut-off wavelength of 2700 nm. This means it allows light with wavelengths shorter than 300 nm and longer than 2700 nm to pass through, while effectively absorbing light in the intervening spectrum. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that require the removal of infrared heat, such as in laser systems or high-powered lighting applications.

The filter's geometry is defined by its thin lens shape, which contributes to its versatility in various optical setups. The physical data of the filter, including its dimensions and coating, are precisely controlled to ensure consistent performance and ease of integration into optical systems.
