The 450BP100-9MM is a Bandpass Filter, a type of optical filter that allows only a specific range of wavelengths to pass through it while blocking others. This particular filter, sourced from the reputable vendor Omega Optical, is designed with a center wavelength (CWL) of 450 nanometers (nm), making it ideal for applications that require precise filtering in the blue light spectrum.
The filter is circular in shape, with a diameter of 9 millimeters (mm) and a thickness of 2 mm, providing a compact yet robust design. It is constructed from UVFS MAL-1965, a material known for its optical properties and durability.
The 450BP100-9MM features a cut-on wavelength of 400 nm and a cut-off wavelength of 500 nm. This means it begins to transmit light at 400 nm and stops transmitting at 500 nm, effectively passing light in the 400-500 nm range. This makes it a versatile tool for various applications, including fluorescence microscopy, spectroscopy, and other optical systems.
The filter's surface is coated with a specialized coating on both the front and back. This coating, referred to as "ome 450bp1009mm", is designed to enhance the filter's performance and durability. The filter's overall design, including its shape and coating, is classified as a Thin Lens, further contributing to its versatility and applicability in various optical systems.
