LONGPASS EDGE FILTER RANGE

Often referred to as Longpass (LP) filters, they are very useful for isolating regions of the spectrum. They are an excellent choice as emission filters in fluorescence applications, and as order sorting filters for photometry. They are also very useful as stray light or trim filters, to eliminate any unwanted near band radiation. Edge filters are very common in Raman Spectroscopy and Astronomy. Raman Edge Slopes supplied by Knight Optical are typically 1.2%, OD0.3 to OD5. Our Stock LP edge filters (not Raman) have 3% & 4% slopes, OD0.3 to OD4. Laser blocking edge filters can be designed to provide both deep blocking at the laser wavelength and high transmission close to the laser line. All Knight Optical LP filters are constructed of durable dielectric coatings, and will withstand the normal cleaning and handling associated with any high-quality optical component. Their film construction is essentially a modified quarter-wave stack, using interference effects rather than absorption to isolate their spectral bands. Unlike filter glass, which is not sensitive to wavelength shift with angle, these filters will shift shorter in wavelength with an increase in their angle of incidence. This feature can be useful in applications where it may be desirable to fine tune the 50% cut-on, or cut-off wavelength. Standard LP edge filters are available in 10nm increments from 400nm to 700nm, and 50nm increments from 750nm-1550nm.

Knight Optical can design edge filter spectral characteristics to meet customer needs, including transmission level, transmission range, blocking density, blocking range, spectral positioning of half power wavelength, incident angle or range of angles for use, and degree of steepness for edge filter slope. Custom edge filters are available and will be quoted upon request. Please contact Knight Optical for more specific information.
