Absorption, and particularly wavelength selective absorption is an important factor in the function of the filters. The two most commonly used absorbers are thin metallic films which are particularly insensitive to wavelength for absorption, and colored glasses which absorb wavelengths varied by as much as several orders of magnitudes in only tens of nanometers. Interference filters are multilayer dielectric thin film devices. Metallic films, colored glasses and thin dielectric films are used in our filters.

It is avaialble at 1064nm, 671nm, 532nm, 432nm.

Diffraction Grating

We provide star crossed, matrix and beam fan diffraction gratings. The diffraction grating is an optical component with a regular pattern, which splits (diffracts) light into several beams travelling in different directions. The directions of these beams depend on the spacing of the grating and the wavelength of the light so that the grating acts as a dispersive element.
