53-708 15 mm Dia. Traditional Coated IR Cut-Off Filter; t=1.1 mm 710nm

The 53-708 is a 15 mm diameter IR Cut-Off Filter, characterized by its 710nm cut-off wavelength and a thickness of 1.1 mm. This filter is designed and manufactured by Edmund Optics, a leading vendor in the optical industry, ensuring high-quality performance and reliability.

The filter is made of borofloat33, a borosilicate glass known for its excellent thermal stability and resistance to thermal shock. This material choice contributes to the filter's durability and longevity, making it suitable for various applications.

The 53-708 features a Shortpass Filter type, specifically designed to transmit wavelengths shorter than the specified cut-off while blocking longer wavelengths. This characteristic is particularly useful in applications where infrared radiation needs to be filtered out, such as in imaging or spectroscopy.

The filter's geometry includes a diameter of 15 mm and a thickness of 1.1 mm, making it compatible with most optical systems that require IR filtration. The coating on both the front and back surfaces is Edmund Optics' proprietary edm 53-708 coating, which enhances the filter's performance and durability.

The filter's physical data indicates a cut-on wavelength of 0 nm and a cut-off wavelength of 710 nm. This means that the filter starts transmitting from 0 nm and stops at 710 nm, effectively blocking any wavelengths longer than this.
