The 46-545 is a mounted color glass filter, specifically designed for use in optical systems requiring a red color filter. This filter, sourced from Edmund Optics, boasts a 32 mm diameter and a thickness of 2 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The filter's primary wavelength is 588 nm, indicating its peak sensitivity to red light. It is designed with a thin lens shape, which can contribute to reduced spherical aberration and improved image quality. The filter's geometry is defined by a 32 mm diameter, providing a generous aperture for light transmission.
The 46-545 filter features a cut-on wavelength of 600 nm and a cut-off wavelength of 0 nm. This means that it begins to transmit light at 600 nm and continues to transmit all wavelengths thereafter. This characteristic makes it ideal for applications that require the transmission of red light and beyond.
The filter is coated with EDM 46-539 on both the front and back surfaces. This coating enhances the filter's performance and durability, providing protection against environmental factors and ensuring consistent optical performance.
