The 46-060 50.8 x 50.8 mm SCHOTT OG530 Yellow Longpass Color Glass Filter is a specialized optical component designed for applications that require longpass filtering at a specific wavelength. This filter, sourced from Edmund Optics, is a rectangular piece of color glass with a base shape that measures 50.8 mm in both width and height.
The filter is made from SCHOTT's OG530 material, which is known for its excellent optical properties. It has a cut-on wavelength of 530nm, meaning it begins to transmit light at this wavelength and beyond. The cut-off wavelength is 0nm, indicating that it blocks all wavelengths shorter than 530nm. This makes it ideal for applications where yellow light and longer wavelengths need to be isolated or emphasized.
The filter has a thickness of 3mm, which is typical for this type of component. It features a thin lens shape, which is often used in optical systems to minimize aberrations and distortions. The front and back surfaces of the filter are coated with EDM 54-654, a coating that likely enhances the filter's performance and durability.
