The 52-540 is a 25 mm diameter magenta dichroic filter, designed and manufactured by Edmund Optics. This filter is specifically engineered for use in optical systems that require precise wavelength selection and manipulation. The dichroic coating on both the front and back surfaces of the filter allows for efficient reflection and transmission of specific wavelengths, making it an ideal component for a variety of applications.
The filter's geometry is defined by a 25 mm diameter and a thickness of 2 mm, providing a robust and compact design suitable for integration into various optical setups. The base material of the filter is borofloat33, a borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties and durability.
The 52-540 filter is designed to transmit wavelengths between 495 nm and 605 nm, with a peak transmission at 588 nm. This makes it particularly useful in applications where magenta light needs to be isolated or emphasized. The filter also features a cut-on wavelength of 605 nm and a cut-off wavelength of 495 nm, ensuring precise control over the light passing through it.
The coating on the filter is Edmund Optics' proprietary EDM 52-539, applied to both the front and back surfaces. This coating enhances the filter's performance and durability, ensuring reliable operation in a wide range of conditions.
