14-554 50 x 50 mm SCHOTT KG5 Colored Glass Heat Absorbing Shortpass Filter 300-2700nm

The 14-554 is a 50 x 50 mm SCHOTT KG5 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 and is available for purchase through their online catalog, with a current status indicating it is in stock.

The filter is constructed from SCHOTT KG5 glass, a material known for its excellent optical properties and thermal stability. It has a square geometry, with a width and height of 50 mm each, and a thickness of 2 mm. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that require a compact, yet robust optical component.

The 14-554 filter features a shortpass 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 to pass through while effectively blocking light with wavelengths longer than 2700 nm. This property is particularly useful in applications where the removal of infrared radiation is crucial, such as in laser systems, imaging applications, and spectroscopy.

The filter is coated on both the front and back surfaces with the EDM 14-554 coating. This coating enhances the filter's performance by reducing surface reflections and improving transmission efficiency. The filter's shape is classified as a Thin Lens, indicating its potential use in optical systems where a lens-like element is required.
