The 52-541 is a 50mm diameter magenta dichroic filter, sourced from the renowned optical components vendor, Edmund Optics. This filter is designed to transmit light in the magenta spectrum, specifically within the wavelength range of 495-605nm. The dichroic nature of the filter allows it to reflect or transmit light depending on the wavelength, making it an ideal component for various optical applications.
The filter is fabricated from borofloat33, a borosilicate glass known for its excellent thermal stability and chemical resistance. It features a circular shape with a diameter of 50mm and a thickness of 2mm, providing a robust and compact form factor. The filter's coating, identified as EDM 52-539 on both the front and back surfaces, enhances its dichroic properties, ensuring optimal performance.
The physical data of the filter indicates a cut-on wavelength of 605nm and a cut-off wavelength of 495nm. This means that the filter begins to transmit light at 605nm and stops transmitting at 495nm. This characteristic makes the filter particularly useful in applications where specific wavelength selection is required.
The 52-541 filter is designed in a thin lens shape, which not only contributes to its compactness but also allows for easy integration into various optical systems. The filter is currently in stock and can be purchased directly from the Edmund Optics website, as indicated by its valid weblink status.
