The 46-589 is a UV Dielectric Hot Mirror filter, designed and manufactured by Edmund Optics, a leading provider of optical components. This filter, with a diameter of 50 mm and a thickness of 3 mm, is specifically engineered for use in applications that require the reflection of infrared light while transmitting visible and ultraviolet light.
The filter's primary function is to cut on at 245 nm and cut off at 1050 nm, making it ideal for use in ultraviolet applications. The front and back of the filter are coated with EDM 46-587, a dielectric coating that enhances its performance and durability.
The 46-589 is a Hot/Cold Mirror type filter, which is a type of dichroic filter that reflects one portion of the light spectrum and transmits the rest. In this case, it reflects infrared light and transmits visible and ultraviolet light. This makes it an excellent choice for applications that require the separation of these light spectra.
The filter is designed for a 0 degree angle of incidence (AOI), ensuring optimal performance when used in systems where the light path is perpendicular to the filter. The filter is currently in stock and available for immediate purchase through the Edmund Optics website.
