The 16-063 is a precision absorptive Neutral Density Filter from Edmund Optics, designed with a 25 mm diameter and a thickness of 1.75 mm. This filter is part of the SCHOTT NG4 series, renowned for its high-quality optical glass, and is coated with the EDM 16-063 coating on both the front and back surfaces.
The Neutral Density Filter is a crucial component in optical systems, designed to reduce the intensity of light without altering its color composition. This particular filter boasts an Optical Density (OD) of 0.9, which corresponds to a transmission of 36.8%. This makes it ideal for applications where a significant reduction in light intensity is required.
The filter's wavelength is centered at 588 nm, which falls within the visible light spectrum. It is designed to operate effectively within the 450-700 nm range, making it suitable for a wide array of optical systems. The filter's thin lens shape ensures minimal distortion and maintains the integrity of the optical path.
