The NE501B is a Neutral Density (ND) Filter, designed and manufactured by Thorlabs. This filter is circular in shape, with a diameter of 12.7 mm and a thickness of 0.6 mm, making it suitable for a wide range of optical applications. The NE501B features a n-bk7 schott 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 tho ne01a coating on both the front and back surfaces. The optical density of this filter is 0.1, which corresponds to a reduction factor of approximately 1.26 in light intensity.
The NE501B filter is designed with a thin lens shape, which can be beneficial in certain optical systems where minimal thickness is required.
