Filters
C-OCLI provide following type of filters
¡¡
1.  Interference Filters   Narrow band (¡À10nm) ,Broadband (¡À50nm and ¡À80nm), it has extremely angle      sensitive, so carefully mounting is necessary. The highly selective reduce the throughput of the peak wavelength significantly.
2.  Color Substrate Filters   They are often used for longpass and bandpass filters, coated substrate cemented with  color glass which have different absorption and transmission properties across the spectrum.
3.  Dichroic Filters   Substrate are coated with thin-films to acquire the desired transmission and reflection characteristics  across the spectrum.
4.  Neutral density Filters   It often used to prevent blooming or overexposure of cameras and other detectors. they are designed to reduce transmission evenly across a portion of the spectrum .
Two types: absorptive and reflective.
5.  Longpass Filters   A filter in which the passband is a wavelength rang higher than the wavelength range that is blocked.
6.  Shortpass filters   A filter in which the passband is a wavelength rang lower than the wavelength range that is blocked. it include IR cutoff filters, hot mirror, and heat absorbing filters.

Optical Filter Specifications

Please give us following specification form for order:
Following is a hort review of filter specifications to assist you in formulating requirements for your particular application.
Center wavelength
Center wavelength (CWL) is the arithmetic mean of the pass band expressed in nanometers. For example, a HeNe filter would have a center wavelength of 632.8nm. Center Wavelength tolerance: ¡À FWHM
Percent Transmission
Percent transmission is the amount of power received by the detector compared to the total power received.
Bandpass
It is the width of the pass band, measured in nm, at the half-power points of the pass band. It is often expressed as Full Width at Half maximum (FWHM).
Tolerance: ¡À20% of FWHM.
Bandpass shape
 It can vary from triangular to nearly square. The number of cavities  in a filter describes the overall spectral shape.
Out-of-band rejection
out-of-band rejection (Blocking), is the amount of the energy , outside the filter pass band, transmitted through the filter. it is often expressed as an absolute  level.
For example 10-4 , means transmission outside the pass band is 0.01% ,  Unit: Optical Density (O.D.).
Filter Dimension
Filter dimension are specified in inches or millimeter along with tolerance. such as 25.4mm §¶,  thickness: 6.35mm.

C-OCLI ' s filter are designed for operation at 23 degrees Celsius, these filters can be used throughout the temperature range of -50 to +100 degrees Celsius as long as thermal shock is avoided.



IR cutoff filter :
Common  light sources delivery light that has a very broad spectral output reaching beyond visible,   many visual and detector-based applications call for a filter that is designed to pass only light within the visible spectrum. C-OCLI provide IR cutoff filter with volume-produce.

Central Wavelength (CWL) Tolerance:  ¡À2nm
Full width-half Maximum (FWHM): 10nm
Operating Temp.Range: -10¡ã  C  to +70¡ã  C
Surface Quality: 80-50
Blocking: 100 nm to 1200nm

Application: Water and environmental testing, clinical chemistry,  colorimetry,  photometry, laser and lEDs.
