The 46-623 is a rectangular color glass filter, measuring 203.2 mm in width and 254 mm in height, making it suitable for applications requiring larger filter sizes. This filter is specifically designed for the red optical cast plastic material, identified by the material ID "uvfs mal- 1965".
The filter's primary function is to allow light within a specific wavelength range to pass through while blocking other wavelengths. The central wavelength of this filter is 588nm, which falls within the red light spectrum. The filter is designed to transmit light within the 400-700nm range, making it a broadband filter suitable for various applications.
The filter's geometry includes a thickness of 1.5mm, which is relatively thin, contributing to its lightweight nature. The front and back surfaces of the filter are coated with "edm 43-942", a coating that likely enhances the filter's performance and durability. The shape of the filter is defined as a "Thin Lens", suggesting that it may have some light focusing capabilities, although this is not its primary function.
