The 66-041 12.5 mm Dia. Hoya O-56 Orange Longpass Color Glass Filter is a specialized optical component designed for applications that require longpass filtering at a specific wavelength. This filter, sourced from Edmund Optics, has a catalog number of 66-041 and is available for purchase directly from their website.
The filter is a circular piece of color glass, with a diameter of 12.5 mm and a thickness of 2.5 mm. It is designed to allow light with wavelengths longer than 560 nm to pass through while blocking or attenuating shorter wavelengths. This makes it ideal for applications where orange light needs to be isolated or emphasized.
The filter's physical data includes a cut-on wavelength of 560 nm, indicating the point at which it begins to transmit light. It has no specified cut-off wavelength, suggesting that it continues to transmit light at all longer wavelengths. The filter's coating, denoted as 'edm 66-041' on both the front and back surfaces, provides the longpass filtering functionality.
The filter's geometry and shape are those of a thin lens, which may be relevant for certain applications. The lens shape could potentially influence the way light is focused or distributed after passing through the filter.
