The 46-542 is a mounted color glass filter, specifically designed for use in optical systems that require a red color filtering effect. This filter, sourced from the reputable vendor Edmund Optics, boasts a 27.5 mm diameter and a thickness of 2 mm, making it a suitable choice for a wide range of applications.
The filter's primary function is to allow light within the wavelength range of 400-700nm to pass through while blocking other wavelengths. This is facilitated by the filter's cut-on wavelength of 600nm and cut-off wavelength of 0nm. The filter's red color is achieved through the use of a specific material, identified as UVFS MAL-1965 in the item data.
The 46-542 filter features a thin lens shape and is coated on both the front and back with EDM 46-539. This coating enhances the filter's performance and durability, ensuring optimal functionality within your optical system.
