The ANDY-30C-25 is a high-quality Neutral Density Filter, specifically designed for use with YAG Lasers operating at a wavelength of 1064nm. This filter, offered by OptoSigma, is a circular unmounted component with a diameter of 30mm and a thickness of 2mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications.
The filter's primary function is to reduce the intensity of the incident light without altering its color composition. This is achieved through the use of absorptive coatings on both the front and back surfaces, specifically the "opt andy-20" coating. This coating ensures a high level of optical density, providing effective attenuation of the laser beam.
The filter's geometry is designed in the shape of a thin lens, which not only contributes to its compactness but also minimizes optical aberrations. This makes the ANDY-30C-25 an ideal choice for applications that require precise optical control.
The filter is made from UVFS Mal-1965, a material known for its excellent optical properties and durability. This ensures that the filter can withstand the rigors of regular use in a laser environment.
The filter's catalog number is ANDY-30C-25, and it is currently in stock. It can be purchased directly from the OptoSigma website, with the weblink provided for convenience.
