The 46-096 12 mm Dia. Hoya U-340 (UV) Black Colored Glass Bandpass Filter is a specialized optical component designed for use in applications where precise wavelength control is required. Sourced from Edmund Optics, this filter is a part of their extensive catalog of optical elements, and it boasts a 12 mm diameter and a thickness of 2.5 mm.
This filter is a Bandpass type, which means it allows light to pass through within a certain range of wavelengths while blocking out other wavelengths. In this case, the filter is designed to pass UV light at a center wavelength of 340nm, making it ideal for UV-based applications. The front and back surfaces of the filter are coated with "edm 46-096", a coating that enhances its performance and durability.
The filter is shaped as a Thin Lens, which suggests it may have some light bending properties. However, without additional information, it's hard to specify these properties. The filter's geometry, including its diameter and thickness, are designed to ensure optimal performance while maintaining a compact form factor.
The filter's catalog number, 46-096, can be used to find more information about it on the Edmund Optics website. The current status of this item is "Valid - in stock", indicating it's readily available for purchase and use in your optical systems.
