The 66-096 50 mm Dia. SCHOTT RG630 Red 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, is a circular element with a diameter of 50 mm and a thickness of 3 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical systems.
The filter's primary function is to allow light with wavelengths greater than 630 nm to pass through while blocking or attenuating shorter wavelengths. This is achieved through the use of a unique coating, denoted as "edm 54-658" on both the front and back surfaces. The cut-on wavelength is 630 nm, indicating that the filter begins to transmit light at this point along the spectrum.
The material ID for this filter is UVFS MAL-1965, although the specific composition or properties of this material are not detailed in the provided data. The filter's shape is described as a "Thin Lens," suggesting that it may have some degree of optical power, although this is not explicitly stated.
