What are optical bandpass filters?

The bandpass filter is a type of optical filter

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 are optical bandpass filters

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
