The 5CGA-475 is a high-performance colored glass alternative longpass filter, designed with a diameter of 12.7 mm and a thickness of 1.1 mm. This filter is developed by MKS/Newport, a renowned vendor in the optical industry, and is available for purchase on their official website.
The 5CGA-475 filter is designed to cut on at 475nm, allowing light of longer wavelengths to pass through while blocking shorter wavelengths. The cut-off wavelength is 0nm, indicating that it allows all wavelengths longer than 475nm to pass through. This filter is particularly useful in applications where the detection of specific wavelengths is required.
The filter features a thin lens shape, which is beneficial in applications where space is a constraint. The front and back of the filter are coated with "new 20cga-475", a coating that enhances the filter's performance and durability.
The 5CGA-475 filter is categorized as a Color Glass filter under the Sub Type parameter. This indicates that it is made from a specially formulated glass that provides color filtration. The Base Shape is circular, making it compatible with a wide range of optical systems.
