14-552 50 x 50 mm SCHOTT KG3 Colored Glass Heat Absorbing Shortpass Filter 300-2700nm

The 14-552 is a 50 x 50 mm SCHOTT KG3 Colored Glass Heat Absorbing Shortpass Filter, designed to absorb and block infrared radiation while transmitting visible light. This filter, sourced from Edmund Optics, is a crucial component for applications that require heat management and shortpass filtering.

The filter is made from SCHOTT KG3 glass, a material known for its excellent optical properties and heat absorption capabilities. It has a thickness of 3mm, providing durability and stability. The rectangular shape, with a width of 50mm and a height of 50mm, ensures a wide field of view and easy integration into optical systems.

The 14-552 filter's coating is another key feature. Both the front and back surfaces are coated with the EDM 14-552 coating, which enhances the filter's performance by further increasing its heat absorption capabilities. This coating also ensures high transmission in the visible spectrum, making it ideal for applications that require both heat management and clear image transmission.

The filter's cut-on wavelength is 300nm, and its cut-off wavelength is 2700nm. This means it blocks all radiation below 300nm and above 2700nm, effectively absorbing and managing heat while allowing visible light to pass through. This makes it suitable for applications such as laser protection, thermal imaging, and astronomical observations.
