36-396 12.5 mm Dia. OD 3.0 Ultra-Thin Notch Filter 532nm

The 36-396 12.5 mm Dia. OD 3.0 Ultra-Thin Notch Filter is a specialized optical component designed to selectively transmit light while blocking others, particularly at the 532nm wavelength. Sourced from Edmund Optics, this filter is a Notch Filter type, which is known for its ability to reject light in a narrow band of wavelengths, making it ideal for applications requiring high contrast and rejection of specific wavelengths.

The filter boasts a circular base shape with a diameter of 12.5mm, ensuring a wide enough aperture for many optical systems. It is made from UVFS Mal-1965 material, a common choice for optical filters due to its excellent transparency and durability. The filter's ultra-thin design, with a thickness of only 0.3mm, minimizes optical aberrations and makes it suitable for use in compact optical systems.

The coating on both the front and back surfaces of the filter is EDM 36-396, a proprietary coating developed by Edmund Optics for enhanced performance. This coating provides superior blocking of unwanted wavelengths and maintains high transmission at the desired 532nm wavelength.

The physical data of the filter includes a center wavelength (CWL) of 532nm, ensuring precise operation at this wavelength. The filter's geometry and physical data make it an excellent choice for applications such as fluorescence microscopy, laser spectroscopy, and other applications where specific wavelength rejection is required.
