The ND530A is a Neutral Density Filter with a diameter of 0.5 inches, manufactured by Thorlabs. This filter is designed with a circular base shape and a thin lens shape, making it an ideal choice for various optical applications. The ND530A boasts a Schott N-BK7 material ID, ensuring high-quality performance and durability.
The filter's primary function is to reduce the intensity of incident light without altering its color composition. This is achieved through the application of a front and back coating of tho nd30, providing an optical density of 3.0. This specific optical density reduces the light intensity by a factor of 1000, making it highly effective in managing high-intensity light sources.
The ND530A features a SM05-threaded mount, offering easy integration with other optical components. The filter's geometry includes a diameter of 12.7 millimeters and a thickness of 1 millimeter, contributing to its compact and lightweight design.
