The 46-587 is a UV Dielectric Hot Mirror filter, designed and manufactured by Edmund Optics, a leading provider of optical components. This filter is characterized by its 25 mm diameter and a thickness of 3 mm, making it a compact yet robust solution for various applications.
The filter's primary function is to reflect infrared and visible light while transmitting ultraviolet light, a property that makes it ideal for applications where UV light needs to be isolated or preserved. The cut-on wavelength is 245 nm, and the cut-off wavelength is 1050 nm, indicating a broad range of usability across the UV spectrum.
The 46-587 filter features a coating on both the front and back surfaces, identified as 'edm 46-587'. This coating enhances the filter's performance, ensuring efficient reflection and transmission of light within the specified wavelength range.
The filter is designed for a 0-degree angle of incidence (AOI), which means it performs optimally when light strikes it head-on. This makes it suitable for applications where the light source is directly in front of the filter.
In terms of geometry, the filter is circular, a shape that offers versatility and ease of integration into various optical systems. The filter's thin lens shape further adds to its adaptability, making it a reliable choice for numerous UV-based applications.
The filter's catalog number is 46-587, and it is currently in stock, according to the vendor's website. The link to the product page is provided for further information and reference.
