The 49-092 is a 12.5 mm diameter circular filter from Edmund Optics, designed for heat absorption and infrared (IR) cut-off applications. This filter is made of SCHOTT KG5 glass, a material known for its excellent optical properties and durability.
The filter's primary function is to cut off light in the infrared spectrum, specifically between 300nm and 2700nm, making it ideal for applications where infrared light needs to be controlled or eliminated. The KG5 glass also provides heat absorption, helping to protect sensitive components from excessive heat.
The filter has a thickness of 3mm, which contributes to its robustness and stability. It features a thin lens shape, allowing for easy integration into various optical systems. The front and back surfaces of the filter are coated with "edm 49-092", a coating that likely enhances the filter's performance and durability.
This filter is currently in stock and can be purchased directly from the Edmund Optics website using the provided weblink. With its wide range of applications and reliable performance, the 49-092 is a valuable addition to any optical system that requires IR cut-off and heat absorption.
