What are optical bandpass filters?
Optical bandpass filters are optical filters that allow signals between two specific frequencies to pass, but that discriminates against signals at other frequencies.
Here is a spectrum curve of optical filter bandpass type:
What specifications are required for a optical bandpass filter?
- Center Wavelength(CWL) : the midpoint of passband wavelength
- Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM): the width of the transmitting region at half of the maximum transmission value
- Blocked Area :the wavelength band that you want to block/reject
- Blocking Value: optical density
- Peak Transmission (Tpeak): the maximum transmission of the filter
Types of optical bandpass filters based on FWHM：
- Wide bandpass filter – uv wide bandpass filter , visible wide bandpass filter , ir wide bandpass filter
- Narrow bandpass filter – uv narrow bandpass filter , visible narrow bandpass filter , ir narrow bandpass filter
When the FWHM is larger than 30nm ,we normally determine the filter as a wide band pass filter. When the FWHM is smaller than 30nm,we determine the filter as a narrow band pass filter.
Types of optical bandpass filters based on wavelengths:
- UV bandpass filter / Ultraviolet bandpass filter
- VIS bandpass filter / Visible bandpass filter
- IR bandpass filter / Infrared bandpass filter
Applications of optical bandpass filters:
- Medical
- Laser range/distance measurement
- Iris recognition
- Automotive sensor
- Industrial safety system
- Biotechnology
- Microscopy/Fluorescence microscopy
